Dr. Ann Nderitu: In the last election, we were guided by the court that the list of candidates submitted by a political party must meet the two-thirds gender rule. This time, we expect to implement that and we have forwarded amendments in Parliament to make it square #CitizenSundayLive

EXPLAINER: THE BUDGET
and
THE FINANCE BILL.

The National Budget Estimates and the Finance Bill are two key instruments that guide how Government raises and spends public resources. While closely linked, they serve different purposes in Kenya’s public finance system.

The National Budget Estimates outlines Government’s spending priorities for the financial year. Under Article 221 of the Constitution of Kenya, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury submits estimates of revenue and expenditure to the National Assembly.

The budget sets out how Government intends to allocate resources across key sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, security and social protection.

The budget process is guided by the Public Finance Management Act, which provides the legal framework for planning, approving and managing public finances.

The Finance Bill
, on the other hand, introduces the tax measures required to raise revenue needed to fund the Budget.

Articles 209 and 210 of the Constitution of Kenya require that taxes and levies be imposed only through legislation passed by Parliament.

The Finance Bill therefore proposes amendments to tax laws such as the Income Tax Act, VAT Act and Excise Duty Act in order to implement the Government’s revenue proposals.

• The Budget outlines Government spending priorities.
• The Finance Bill provides the legal mechanism for raising revenue to finance that spending.

Together, these processes promote transparency, accountability and responsible management of public resources in line with Kenya’s public finance framework.

Former President Kenyatta joins world leaders in mourning Pope Francis

NAIROBI, 21st April 2025

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has joined leaders and catholic faithful worldwide in mourning His Holiness Pope Francis who passed on early this morning.

In his message of condolence, the fourth President eulogised Pope Francis as a true embodiment of religious unity.

He said the pontiff worked hard to build strong bonds of friendship amongst different faiths.

“I recall the visit of Pope Francis to our great nation in November 2015 where most catholic faithful and Kenyans in general renewed their faith and trust in God.

“During that visit, the Pope encouraged Kenyans and pilgrims from across the region to live together as children of the Almighty to portray the true image of God who cherishes peace, harmony and love amongst mankind,” said the Former President.

He prayed to God to comfort all the Catholic faithful as they come to terms with the passing on of Pope Francis.

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.
