Ministerial expenditure on development projects more than doubled in the first quarter of the current fiscal year ending June 2025, in part boosted by the resumption of works on roads and infrastructure in schools.

State ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) spent Sh68.54 billion on development projects between July and September, fresh exchequer data shows, a jump of 116.57 percent over Sh31.65 billion in a similar period last year.
