President William Ruto is urging Members of Parliament to pass the National Infrastructure Fund Bill, which he says will unlock Sh5 trillion for national development. In a separate move, the National Treasury of Kenya has invited public participation for tax policy proposals for the 2026/27 financial year budget. Additionally, the National Construction Authority (NCA) has halted construction at a residential development on Peponi Road in Westlands, Nairobi, following a structural failure on Monday, December 15. On the topic of procurement, a UNICEF-Giga report noted that Kenya's decision to open up the process for school internet connectivity has drastically reduced broadband costs.
