Citizens’ budget proposals win backing for Sh5bn fund
Members of the public take part in budget public participation hearings on the 2025/26 revenue and expenditure estimates at Uasin Gishu County Hall in Eldoret City on May 15, 2025.
A parliamentary committee has backed the creation of a Sh5 billion public participation fund to finance projects proposed by citizens during budget hearings, opening a new spending vote even as the government implements austerity measures.
The allocation, included in the National Treasury’s 2026/27 budget estimates, will finance projects and policy interventions raised during parliamentary public participation forums, including stalled development projects, teacher recruitment and medical staffing.
