Kenya Government Travel Spending Hits KSh30.69 Billion in 2025-2026

The Kenyan government spent KSh30.69 billion on domestic and foreign travel in the 2025-2026 financial year, up KSh5.2 billion from the previous year, according to Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o's report.

Domestic trips took KSh21.98 billion, foreign KSh8.71 billion, with State House as the top spender at KSh2.5 billion and the Deputy President's office at KSh655 million.

Nyakang’o called the amounts excessive amid President Ruto's 2023 pledge to halve such costs, as debt rose 10% and ordinary Kenyans faced rising taxes and economic strain.
