The Kenyan government has allocated Sh3 billion for the 2025/26 budget hearings, which will take place in 13 selected counties across the country. This initiative aims to enhance public participation in the budget-making process by bringing the hearings closer to the citizens. The counties chosen for these hearings are Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Garissa, Kakamega, Meru, Nyeri, Machakos, Kilifi, Kisii, and Turkana. The move is part of a broader strategy to ensure that the budget reflects the needs and priorities of Kenyans from various regions, promoting transparency and inclusivity in governance.
