  • The National Treasury has apportioned Sh3 billion to finance public participation on the country's Sh4.3 trillion budget for the 2025/26 financial year across a select 13 counties. This means that Parliament will spend about Sh230.

The Kenyan government has allocated Sh3 billion for the 2025/26 budget hearings, which will take place in 13 selected counties across the country. This initiative aims to enhance public participation in the budget-making process by bringing the hearings closer to the citizens. The counties chosen for these hearings are Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Garissa, Kakamega, Meru, Nyeri, Machakos, Kilifi, Kisii, and Turkana. The move is part of a broader strategy to ensure that the budget reflects the needs and priorities of Kenyans from various regions, promoting transparency and inclusivity in governance. The hearings are scheduled to start in January 2024, with the government expecting to gather extensive feedback to inform the national budget.
