The Controller of Budget, Dr Margaret Nyakang’o, has granted conditional approval to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja’s Sh49.27 billion spending plan for the 2026/2027 financial year, after initially rejecting it due to 'unrealistic' projections and unresolved pending bills.

• The Nairobi County budget was approved with conditions, including addressing the over Sh81.1 billion in pending bills.
• Key figures involved include Governor Johnson Sakaja and Controller of Budget Dr Margaret Nyakang’o.
• The budget's revenue projections, particularly for Own Source Revenue (OSR), were deemed unrealistic by the Controller of Budget, as they exceeded historical performance.
