President William Ruto launched the National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) Programme at Kasarani, disbursing Sh708.8 million to 14,176 youth from Nairobi, Kajiado, and Kiambu counties. In a separate action, the Kenyan government released Sh870.38 million in cash transfers to support 132,780 vulnerable households affected by drought across eight arid counties. The funding aims to boost purchasing power and stabilize food consumption. Meanwhile, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) achieved a record-breaking tax collection of Sh251.52 billion in December 2025. This marks its highest monthly revenue haul ever, representing a 15.88 percent year-on-year growth and surpassing the previous peak from June 2025.
