Kenya FY 2027/28 Budget: Latest Hearings, Dates and How to Follow
Updated October 9, 2026
The National Treasury launched preparation of Kenya’s FY 2027/28 and medium-term budget in July. The process has since moved into sector hearings: Treasury’s revised notice schedules public hearings at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on October 9, 12 and 13, 2026.
What the hearings cover
The sessions are part of public participation in setting national priorities and expenditure ceilings. The published programme covers health; general economic and commercial affairs; energy, infrastructure and ICT; governance, justice and law and order; social protection, culture and recreation; environment, water and natural resources; public administration and international relations; agriculture and rural and urban development; and education.
Treasury says members of the public can follow proceedings through a link posted on its official website and social-media accounts. Check Treasury’s current notices for the schedule and viewing link in case arrangements change.
What the July launch announced
At the July launch, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said the preparation would align with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, Vision 2030 and the Fourth Medium-Term Plan. Those were the Government’s stated planning priorities; final allocations and policy choices are determined later in the budget process.
How to follow the budget
