Parliament was a near-empty shell on Thursday afternoon as Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi delivered his maiden budget statement for the 2025/26 Financial Year.
What is traditionally a packed chamber for such a major national event was instead marked by rows of empty seats and muted attendance.
Despite the House having 349 members, only a fraction turned up for the reading of the country's Sh4.29 trillion budget.
MPs stayed away as Mbadi took to the stand at around 3pm.
