Members of Parliament are raising concerns over Kenya's proposed Sh4.82 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2026/27, warning it risks overburdening citizens with debt due to current global economic instability.

• The budget's financing is deemed unsustainable amidst escalating Middle East conflict and soaring fuel prices, impacting Kenya's revenue streams.
• The National Assembly Committee on Finance and National Planning, led by Molo MP Kuria Kimani, is urging the National Treasury to scale down the expenditure.
• Kenya's public debt is nearing Sh13 trillion, with the Central Bank of Kenya noting a downward revision of the economic growth forecast to 4.8 percent.
