The government, through the National Treasury, has announced a new partnership aimed at strengthening the country's fiscal policy framework.

During a meeting on Monday, March 3, Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, John Mbadi, alongside the UK High Commissioner to Kenya, H.E.

Neil Wigan, presided over the ceremonial exchange of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the National Treasury and the UK's Overseas Development Institute (ODI).

The signing of the MoU was witnessed by the Principal Secretary for the National Treasury, Dr Chris Kiptoo, with Mbadi noting that the partnership was likely to enhance the National Treasury's capacity in tax policy analysis. "The collaboration will boost tax research, capacity-building initiatives, and the dissemination of research findings, strengthening Kenya's ability to formulate sound fiscal policies," a statement from the Treasury said.
