Kenya’s security agencies are the biggest winners in the freshly tabled second supplementary budget for the current 2025-26 financial year, which proposes to raise spending by Sh17.29 billion to a total Sh4.66 trillion.

Documents from the National Treasury tabled in the National Assembly show that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) is earmarked for a Sh3.5 billion increase in its budget to Sh64.9 billion, while the allocation to the Internal Security and National Administration would be raised by Sh1.6 billion to Sh57.9 billion.
