Kenya lags global peers in budget transparency
A transparency score of 61 or above indicates that a country is likely to be publishing enough material to support informed public debate on its budget.
Kenya lags behind peers in transparency, an indicator of pilferage and wastage of public funds, a new survey shows.
According to the Open Budget Survey (OBS) 2023, Kenya is at position 48 out of 125 countries when it comes to publishing information to support robust public debate on budget estimates. Uganda tops East Africa with 59 percent, followed by Kenya at 55 and Rwanda at 50 percent.
