The Kenyan Treasury plans to restrict business class travel for public officials to only Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries as part of austerity measures to reduce government travel expenditures.

• Sh27.3 billion was spent on travel by ministries in the last financial year, with Sh18.15 billion for domestic and Sh9.19 billion for foreign travel.
• The new policy emphasizes compliance with austerity measures and aims to prioritize Kenya Airways (KQ) for air transport.
• Non-essential foreign travel is currently suspended, and public officers are limited to seven days abroad at a time, with strict caps on annual travel days.
