Decision 2027: Governors Turn to County Budgets for High-Visibility Projects
Governors seeking re-election in 2027 are directing county budgets towards high-visibility projects in health, education, roads, water and agriculture, where residents directly feel the benefits. The focus on visible projects comes as devolved governments continue to face cash-flow constraints. At the same time, the Controller of Budget has raised concerns about the potential use of public resources, including bursaries, to exert political influence ahead of the elections.
