Kenya’s Supplementary Budget II for 2024/25 reveals significant fiscal adjustments amid global economic uncertainties. The budget increases overall spending while shifting priorities, with a notable rise in recurrent expenditures and a decrease in development allocations. Sectoral impacts vary, with some departments experiencing substantial gains while others face significant cuts, influenced by factors like reduced donor funding and the ‘Trump effect’ on U.S. foreign aid. These changes signal Kenya’s efforts to navigate fiscal constraints, but raise concerns about long-term economic resilience and sustainable development.

  1. Overall Budget Increase

    An increase of Kes 86.18 billion across the Executive, Judiciary, and Legislature, bringing the total budget size to Kes 69.985 billion higher than initially planned.

  2. Recurrent Spending Increase

    A Kes 136.79 billion increase in recurrent spending, prioritizing operational costs.

  3. Development Spending Decrease

    A Kes 50.61 billion decrease in development spending, potentially straining future growth.

  4. Consolidated Fund Services Reduction

    A Kes 23.61 billion reduction, driven by cuts in external interest payments (down Kes 31.38 billion) and external redemptions (down Kes 29.11 billion).

    A 66.9% increase (Kes 5.84 billion) for salaries and emergency relief interventions.

  7. State Department for Mining Increase

  8. State Department for Water & Sanitation Reduction

    A 44.14% reduction (Kes 21.99 billion), primarily due to slashed donor funds.

  9. Health Sector Development Spending Cut
