State House Spent Sh18.55 Billion with Sh6.73 Billion in Unspecified Expenses

Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o's budget review for the 2025/26 year revealed State House's total spending hit Sh18.55 billion, up from an original Sh8.5 billion allocation through constitutional supplementary funds.

Over Sh6.73 billion fell into an undisclosed 'other expenses' category, despite President Ruto abolishing the confidential vote two years prior.

Public outcry points to misplaced priorities amid nurse strikes, underfunded schools, and national debt nearing Sh13 trillion, with many demanding audits and greater transparency.
