The move, Sang said, marks a significant milestone his administration’s commitment to accelerating development and enhancing service delivery across Nandi County.
“The assent to these two critical instruments provides the legal and financial foundation necessary to implement our development agenda, ensuring that government programmes and projects are executed efficiently, transparently and in the best interest of the people of Nandi County,” the governor said on Friday, July 3, 2026.
Breakdown of Nandi County’s 2026/2027 budget
Nandi County Assembly recently passed the Ksh 12.599 Billion budget, anchored on the theme “Strengthening Economic Transformation and Enhancing Service Delivery for All.”
In the budget, the county has allocated Ksh 7.86 billion to recurrent expenditure and Ksh 4.74 billion to development, with Ksh 2.56 billion set aside for county-level projects.
A further Ksh 1.26 billion has been allocated for ward-based programmes, while Ksh 925.14 million has been set aside to complete works in progress, so as to ensure no project already ongoing is left half-finished.
“Our revenue base remains anchored on the CRA Equitable Share of Ksh 8.01 billion, complemented by a growing local revenue base of Ksh 2.28 billion, driven largely by land rates under our new county valuation roll, appropriation in aid for health facilities and by a Kshs 1.06 Billion in development partner support,” Governor Sang said.
Which projects will Nandi county finance under 2026/2027 budget?
Health remains at the heart of Nandi County budget, with Ksh 100 million set aside to complete and equip five hospitals and Ksh 41 million to equip the Mother and Child Health Unit at Kapsabet County Referral Hospital.
Additionally, Ksh 83.18 million has been allocated for ward-based health projects across the county.
“Our facilities will also retain Ksh 916.89 million in appropriation-in-aid, revenue generated directly from service delivery and reinvested back into patient care,” the county boss said.
In the Education sector, the county has retained the Ksh 120 million county bursary scheme, allocated Ksh 92 million to the ECDE uniform programme and committed Ksh 90 million to the school milk feeding programme following a successful pilot in Tinderet and Kabiyet wards.
