Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has proposed Sh261 billion for transport infrastructure in the 2026-2027 budget, with roads claiming the lion's share.
Tabling the budget before the National Assembly on Thursday, June 11, the CS proposed Sh220.4 billion for roads alone. The bulk of this, Sh118.1 billion, goes to maintenance.
"Infrastructure is the backbone of economic transformation," said Mbadi, adding that the allocation would support connectivity, freight efficiency and long-term road preservation.
