Kiambu Governor Wamatangi Announces Near Sh30 Billion Budget - July 2026

Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi has announced that the county is approaching a historic budget of nearly Sh30 billion, officially signing off on a KSh25.1 billion budget for the 2026/2027 financial year. The budget prioritizes roads and health services. However, Governor Wamatangi highlighted a significant funding disparity, stating that Kenyan counties manage a much larger road network than the national government but receive a disproportionately small share of the road fund. In a separate development, the Mombasa county government launched a Sh150 million interest-free fund aimed at empowering women, youth, and small traders.
