Discussion on equity and marginalization in Kenya have tended to focus at the inter-county. There has been considerable attention to the national revenue sharing formula among counties. However, inequalities are just as severe amongst wards within counties. This study looks into approaches counties have taken to distribute resources through their budgets. Some of the examples are based on laws passed through the county assemblies, and one is based on a distribution of development projects found in a county budget. While it focuses mainly on the distribution of capital funds, it should not be interpreted to mean that inequalities do not exist in recurrent fund allocation where needs may be more pressing and unmet, and inequities also exist.
