Kenya's socio-political and economic trajectories are headed in one direction: Regression.
For every step forward, we seem to move two steps backwards. A reflection of this unfortunate reality is captured in the 2025/2026 budget proposals and the degenerative states of the health and education sectors. In the 2025/2026 Financial Year, the amount allocated to the education sector was cut by Sh62 billion while allocation to the health sector was reduced by Sh67.2 billion.
In addition to the State-sponsored chaos in public universities, which is pulling them under, funding for students set to join university in September will be slashed.
Unlike previous years, there is no allocation for national examinations. Implementation of CBC, and now CBE, has been chaotic with the government seemingly groping in the dark, lurching from one blunder to another.
