Civil society rejects Sh4.8 trillion budget over lack of public input

The Kenya Human Rights Commission has strongly opposed the budget estimates presented to Parliament on Thursday by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi. Together with other civil society groups, including Okoa Uchumi and TISA, they have rejected both the proposed Sh4.8 trillion budget for the 2026–2027 fiscal year and the accompanying Finance Bill, saying public views were not taken into consideration.
