The Nairobi County Assembly has approved Governor Johnson Sakaja's Sh49.27 billion budget for the 2026/27 financial year, with health, education, infrastructure and environmental management receiving the largest share of funding.

The budget, passed about a month after the start of the new financial year, represents an increase of nearly Sh4 billion from the Sh44.6 billion approved for the 2025/26 financial year.

Presenting the estimates, Finance and Economic Planning CECM Ibrahim Auma said the budget was informed by public participation and is aimed at improving service delivery across the county.
