The blue economy agenda has moved well beyond aspiration. The conversation now is about execution, financing, and measurable impact, and the momentum behind it is significant.
This shift was on full display at the Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa last week, where Kenya made history as the first African country to host this global platform. Jotham Wadongo, our Climate Finance lead, was on the ground as governments, development agencies and the private sector mobilised over $6.4 billion in commitments globally, with Kenya alone pledging over $1.1 billion toward fisheries, marine conservation, climate resilience, and coastal development.
The opportunity now lies in turning those pledges into bankable pipelines and investable projects. From blended finance to blue-green bonds, the frameworks are taking shape, and what matters now is the follow-through. Read the full commitments report here: https://t.co/h3xTVQKRk9

Behind every generation are people whose guidance, sacrifice and steady presence help shape the future.
Today, we celebrate fathers and father figures whose influence extends far beyond their own families. Through the values they pass on, the opportunities they create and the example they set, they help build stronger communities and a better future for those who follow.
Happy Father's Day from all of us at Expertise Global.

There is hope. Not because Kenya's challenges are small, but because we can see the cracks in the system and have the knowledge, capacity and ideas to help fix them.
In a conversation on Kenya's fiscal future, @wangarikebuchi reflected on what rebuilding trust actually requires. People are not averse to paying taxes, but the government needs to deliver on its promises first. She also calls for clearer spending priorities, more disciplined budgeting, and genuine respect for the work of institutions like the Auditor General and Controller of Budget, whose recommendations are too often ignored.
Above all, she urges citizens to participate, and to participate at the right time. By the time the Finance Bill debates arrive in June, the key decisions have already been made. The budget process begins the previous August, and showing up then with well-thought-out ideas is where citizens can have the most impact. Watch the full clip below.

A week after the 2026/27 Budget Reading, the debate continues. Attention remains focused on what the proposals could mean for growth, investment, jobs and the cost of living.
With the government planning to spend KES 4.82 trillion this financial year and public debt projected to reach KES 13.3 trillion, the focus is on how Kenya finances its priorities while supporting long-term growth. At @DeloitteKenya's Kenya National Budget Briefing, Anthony Mwangi, Lydia Ndirangu, Fred Omondi and our MD, @wangarikebuchi, joined moderator @AmbokoJH to unpack the proposals, examine the choices within the budget, and discuss the implications for businesses and citizens.
Thank you to Deloitte for convening a timely discussion on one of the most important economic conversations of the year.

If expenditure keeps rising year after year, revenue measures will always be trying to catch up.
Speaking at @DeloitteKenya's Unpacking the 2026/27 Budget event, @wangarikebuchi reflected on an issue often raised during budget discussions: revenue can only go so far if expenditure continues to grow. Alongside conversations on tax measures and revenue mobilisation, there is also a need to regularly examine spending priorities, assess value for money, and ensure public resources are directed where they can deliver the greatest impact.
Watch the clip below for Wangari's reflections from last week's discussions.

Nearly KES 1 trillion. That is how much Treasury plans to borrow from the domestic market in FY2026/27.
Much of the public debate has focused on the Finance Bill. Yet this figure deserves attention too. Domestic borrowing affects who gets access to credit, the cost of financing for businesses, and the obligations taxpayers will carry into the future. The key question: what is this borrowing expected to deliver?
In this article, John Mburu explores one of the least-discussed aspects of Kenya's budget: the government's reliance on domestic borrowing, the trade-offs involved, and what citizens should expect in return. As reflections on the 2026/27 Budget continue, this perspective is worth reading. Read the full article here: https://t.co/ArfXscKlFk

"On securitisation, government is committing future revenues to fund current projects. This means the next government starts with a lower revenue base and will need to raise even more revenue to fund its own programmes. Unless we confront the difficult choices around containing expenditure, we will keep digging deeper into our pockets." — Fred Omondi @DeloitteKenya
"We really are resilient. We should not get tired. We hold the card. The social contract needs to be honoured to the letter, so we don't pay all the taxes we pay, black tax, housing, and medical costs from our pockets when deductions have already been made. We must continue holding government accountable to ensure the social contract is upheld." — Lydia Ndirangu, @KeEquityBank
"Our revenue structures and policy frameworks are trying to catch up with expenditures. We need a more proactive approach to reducing expenditure and focusing resources on priority areas. The Budget still has a lot of fat that can be trimmed." — @wangarikebuchi
"Much of the Budget Speech was a statement of intent. The key question is whether the measures announced will be implemented. I also expected to see the Auditor-General's report referenced as part of the budget process, but that was missing."
— Anthony Mwangi, Founder, CEO Visible Industries Ltd at the @DeloitteKenya 2026/27 Kenya National Budget Event
The Budget has been presented. The focus now shifts to understanding what the proposals mean for citizens, businesses, and Kenya's economic outlook.

Across Africa, climate priorities are increasingly shaping national budgets. UNEP estimates Sub-Saharan Africa requires around US$51 billion annually for climate adaptation, bringing renewed focus to how resources are prioritised, allocated, Android tracked.
This World Environment Day, Expertise Global recognises the importance of strong public finance systems in supporting climate investment and long-term development outcomes.
