As illustrated in the latest Treasury data, development expenditure will climb steadily over the coming years, starting at Sh493.7 billion in the current financial year and culminating in a significant Sh840 billion by 2026/27.

A substantial Sh191 billion increase is planned. This strategic investment targets crucial long-term projects like infrastructure, designed to create a more prosperous future for all Kenyans.

By directing resources towards development, the government aims to enhance public services, stimulate economic activity, and build a stronger, more resilient nation for generations to come.
