Kenya’s 2025/2026 budget rises to 4.6 trillion shillings

Kenya’s 2025/2026 budget is set to rise by 8.6 percent after the National Assembly approved an additional 363 billion shillings, pushing the total from 4.3 trillion to 4.6 trillion shillings. According to Budget Committee Chairman Samuel Atandi, the increase is largely driven by pending personnel emoluments in the education, security, and health sectors. Atandi has also asked KRA to ensure revenue targets are achieved to meet the expenditure demand.
