The Kenyan National Treasury is developing a new digital platform, the Public Debt Data Warehouse, to centralize all public debt information. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and improve the management of Kenya's debt.

• The platform will consolidate data from multiple systems into a single, secure location, reducing manual processes and errors.
• Key figures involved include Treasury Principal Secretary Dr. Chris Kiptoo and representatives from the Public Debt Data Warehouse Implementation Committee.
• This development follows a warning from Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o that Kenya's public debt has risen to nearly Sh13 trillion due to continuous borrowing without a debt ceiling.

The Kenyan government is defending its proposed Instant Fines System, asserting it will boost road safety, reduce corruption, and mitigate significant economic losses stemming from road crashes.

• Road traffic crashes cost Kenya an estimated Sh1.356 trillion in 2024, representing 8.2 percent of its GDP.
• The Ministry of Roads and Transport submitted its defense to the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure.
• The system, part of the National Road Safety Action Plan (2024–2028), aims to amend the Traffic Act to replace criminal prosecution for minor offences with administrative penalties.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested seven current and former officials of the Nakuru County Government and a contractor over alleged procurement fraud totalling over Sh120 million.

• Contracts worth over Sh120 million were allegedly awarded to companies linked to the husband of a county employee.
• Key individuals arrested include City Manager Peter Gitau Thabanja and County Executive Committee Member for Finance Solomon Sirma.
• The probe was triggered by allegations that an Economist II at the county, Lorna Karamuta Mubichi, failed to declare her private interests in companies controlled by her husband.
