United Opposition leaders Kalonzo Musyoka, Eugene Wamalwa, David Maraga and Martha Karua accompany parents of the Gen Z protesters to lay wreath at parliament buildings
Assented to the Finance Bill, 2026, and the Appropriation Bill, 2026, which provide the legal framework and resources required to finance our transformation priorities, create jobs, strengthen livelihoods and invest in the future.
The Finance Act, 2026, does not raise taxes. Instead, it improves fairness by strengthening compliance, closing loopholes and ensuring that every individual and business pays what is lawfully due.
We are pursuing tax avoidance, not taxpayers; offshore schemes, not ordinary wages; and leakages, not livelihoods.
Contrary to misinformation, there are no taxes on freehold land, no taxes on mitumba, no changes to rental income tax, no tax on bottled water, no new tax on M-PESA or mobile money transactions, no new tax on mobile airtime or data, and no new tax on locally manufactured packaging for essential products.
Our budget invests in people, productivity and prosperity. Education has received the highest allocation at KSh784 billion, up from KSh526 billion in 2022. Funding for health has increased from KSh132 billion to KSh175 billion. Agriculture has risen from KSh44 billion to KSh63 billion.
To cushion Kenyans against fluctuations in fuel prices, KSh21.5 billion has been set aside for fuel stabilisation, among other key interventions.
Also assented to the Supplementary Appropriation Act, 2026, at State House Nairobi.
Upon completion, the complex will strengthen Nairobi’s position as a leading conferencing and events destination in East and Central Africa, enhancing our capacity to host major regional and international gatherings.
Even more important, it will cater for current conferences preferences, elevating and growing our tourism numbers to more than 5 million visitors and generating more than KSh1 trillion by 2028.
Inspected the ongoing works and chaired a meeting to address key bottlenecks and accelerate implementation, including ensuring adequate and reliable power infrastructure to support the conference facility.
Toxic vs buru we know how it ends, buru si east median meaning Moi will try but Kasongo has state and am State meaning @StateDept nirudishe kazi baaaaaana.
The STANDARD, sorry gMoi manual Tweet handle, is running the country's BIGGEST FACTORY of FAKE NEWS.
At its heart is a NEWSROOM fueled by SPIN, stripped of SOUL, and dressed in the HIGH HEELS of SENSATIONALISM.
Meanwhile, ongoing, STADIUMS, new HIGHWAYS, Affordable HOUSING, Mama Mboga MARKETS, higher COFFEE prices, broader SHA coverage, cheaper FERTILIZER, digital ROYALTY payments, lower INTEREST rates, NYOTA, Kazi Majuu, and the BOLDEST TEA and Sugar REFORMS.
On one thing, I agree with STANDARD that the RESULTS in President @WilliamsRuto's Plan are too SERIOUS for their TABLOID version of JOURNALISM.
Sina mengi ya kusema kwa sasa.
Kipchumba Murkomen: The impeached Deputy President is a clout chaser. He could not even serve half a term because he failed the tests of patriotism and unity. He continues to dig the same hole that cost him public office and keeps embarrassing himself.
