President William Ruto has signed the Finance Bill, 2026 into law, paving the way for the implementation of the Sh4.8 trillion budget and setting the government’s spending and revenue agenda for the 2026/27 financial year.
The move marks the final legal step for government spending and revenue collection plans, despite sustained political and public debate over its implications on the cost of living and taxation fairness.
The Finance Bill comes at a time the government is under pressure to finance an expanding development agenda, rising debt obligations, and recurrent expenditure, including salaries and key public services.
