DAY 2

6th LEGISLATIVE SUMMIT 2026.
THEME: "Resilient County Assemblies"

Strengthening governance and financial autonomy is key to building resilient county assemblies. As noted by Transparency International’s Sheila Masinde, real accountability requires collaboration between state and non-state actors.

The Office of the Controller of Budget, led by Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o, plays a vital oversight role under Article 228 of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution. It approves fund withdrawals and issues budget implementation reports that highlight revenue and expenditure trends, often exposing gaps in financial discipline.
However, audit results remain concerning—fewer than 2% of public entities achieve unqualified opinions, signaling ongoing compliance weaknesses. Additionally, county assemblies face a mismatch between their broad mandates and limited resources, undermining effective oversight.

The Controller of Budget remains a crucial checkpoint throughout the budget process, ensuring legal compliance and proper use of funds. Ultimately, resilient county assemblies require financial empowerment, strong oversight, and firm accountability to uphold devolution.
