National Treasury proposes Ksh 4.8 trillion budget for 2026/2027 - May 2026

The National Treasury has proposed a budget of Ksh 4.8 trillion for the fiscal year 2026/2027, set to commence in July. This significant financial plan comes as Francis Atwoli, a prominent Kenyan trade unionist, stated that the challenges facing the Shilling (SHA) are primarily administrative and governance-related, rather than economic. Atwoli's remarks highlight concerns about how the budget will address systemic administrative issues affecting the national currency.
