A new report reveals that while Kenyan counties have improved budget information transparency, many still fail to provide sufficient details for public scrutiny and accountability.

• The County Budget Transparency Survey (CBTS) 2025 by Bajeti Hub found an average comprehensiveness score of 59 out of 100, an improvement of 28 points since 2021.
• Bajeti Hub, an organization focused on budget transparency, urges counties to enhance the quality, accessibility, and usability of citizen budgets.
• Despite improvements in areas like expenditure and non-financial reporting (scoring 71 points), gaps persist in critical financial and non-financial data needed for meaningful public participation and accountability.
