Among the issues I discuss in this video is the collection of approximately Ksh 164 billion through the Housing Levy since its implementation, as well as the Ksh 4.69 billion in interest earned from Treasury Bills over the first two years of implementation.

Kenya’s budget for the financial year beginning July 2026 lays bare a familiar fiscal tension. The government plans to spend KSh 4.82 trillion, the largest budget in the country’s history yet expects to raise only KSh 3.67 trillion in revenue and grants. The result is a financing gap of approximately KSh 1.13 trillion. @IEAKwame @AmbokoJH @j2mutua @RaphaelMuya3 @MelodyNjeru @WNWamalwa @Faycernyny

What does this really mean for you?

Join us this evening for our X Spaces as we decode the numbers and unpack their implications for the economy.

@IEAKenya @IEAKwame @KeTreasury @OAG_Kenya @j2mutua Kenya’s FY2026/27 budget shows a widening gap between ambition and reality:
Ksh 4.8T spending vs Ksh 3.67T revenue. #IEAKEBudget2026 @KeTreasury @OAG_Kenya @NAssemblyKE @COB_Kenya

[Moses Muchiri Mwangi @MosesMuchiri_M]

#IEAKEBudget2026 @KeTreasury intends to introduce a planning policy in the coming FY to enhance evidence based planning as MTPIV sets and Vision 2030 ambitions remain dreams.
It will be interesting to see whether obsessive unrealistic planning of the economy will come to an end.

@IEAKenya @IEAKwame @KeTreasury @OAG_Kenya @j2mutua @JohnMbadiN @AmbokoJH @OkoaUchumi_KE @KBCChannel1 Reducing deficits and borrowing—as proposed by IEA—helps ease pressure on domestic markets, freeing up credit for the private sector and supporting economic growth. #IEAKEBudget2026 @IEAKwame @KeTreasury @JohnMbadiN @CoB_Kenya

@IEAKwame @IEAKenya @j2mutua @WNWamalwa @RaphaelMuya3 @NAssemblyKE KSh 996B will be borrowed from domestic banks to pay KSh 987B in interest to domestic banks illustrating the domestic debt treadmill. #IEAKEBudget2026

Necessity is the mother of invention. That is why @IEAKenya developed a #PublicDebtCounter a real-time dashboard tracking Kenya’s national debt growth.

The platform explains how every figure is calculated, the data sources used, and the methodology behind the tracker. @IEAKwame @AmbokoJH @Ramah_Nyang

@RaphaelMuya3 A fiscal deficit of Ksh 1.1 T againist a proposed development expenditure of 841 billion. This implies 26.5% of the borrowed funds might be utilized for recurrent expenditure and this contrary to the PFM Act of 2012.

[IEA Kenya @IEAKenya]

Further down the distribution, smaller sectors record faster growth but remain modest in overall share. Environment & Resources (4.0%), ARUD (3.8%), and Social Protection (3.5%) all expand notably, alongside GECA, which remains the smallest allocation at 2.1% despite recording the highest growth rate. #IEAKEBudget2026

CS John Mbadi: Delayed pensions processing has long been a source of frustration and hardship for retiring public servants. To hasten the processing of pension claims, I launched the E- Pension Management Information System on 1st June 2026. Following this launch, we have now discontinued manual submission of pension claims unless expressly authorized by the National Treasury

At 85% of total discretionary expenditure, the Executive remains the dominant beneficiary of public spending allocation.Will this translate to better and efficient provision of public goods by the national government? #IEAKEBudget2026. @IEAKenya @WNWamalwa @j2mutua

[IEA Kenya @IEAKenya]

@IEAKwame @KeTreasury @OAG_Kenya @j2mutua @JohnMbadiN @AmbokoJH @OkoaUchumi_KE @KBCChannel1 Public Administration and International Relations (11.1%) and National Security (11.0%) form a closely clustered middle tier, underscoring continued emphasis on administrative capacity and security. #IEAKEBudget2026

@KeTreasury Fy2026/27 promises to end outside the system (e-GP) procurement will that be achieved?
#IEAKEbudget2026
This if achieved would be a good milestone but remains an elusive dream.

[Noah Wamalwa Wasike @WNWamalwa]

@IEAKenya From the chart and table, the budget deficit (~Ksh 1.13 trillion, ~5.3% of GDP) will be financed through borrowing, split between domestic and external sources.#IEAKEBudget2026
