Preparations for the 2027 General Election may face major hurdles after the National Treasury revealed that the Ksh9.2 billion needed for the exercise has not been allocated in the latest budget estimates.
Treasury Principal Secretary Dr Chris Kiptoo raised the concern before the National Assembly's Budget and Appropriation Committee, urging lawmakers to reconsider the missing funds before submitting their reports next week.
Kiptoo's presentation highlighted broader financial constraints affecting various government programmes, attributing the gaps to revenue projections that have fallen below target.
The PS appeared before the committee to represent Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to discuss the FY 2025/26 and Medium-Term Budget Estimates.
