The National Treasury is enhancing its approach to link government planning and budgeting with real-time data to boost the effectiveness of public spending.

• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi stated that fiscal consolidation aims to ensure every allocated shilling delivers greater value, not just reduce expenditure.
• This move follows a directive for government accounting officers to review project statuses within two weeks, providing an updated picture of ongoing initiatives.
• The strategy will prioritize measurable outcomes and foster stronger partnerships with development partners and the private sector, with a focus on job creation quality and sustainability.
