In a move aimed at bolstering crucial national sectors, President William Ruto has assented to the Supplementary Appropriation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 8 of 2025). The Bill, which was passed by the National Assembly, paves the way for targeted financial interventions in critical sectors such as education, health, and security.
The Bill allocates a significant Sh50 billion towards reforms in the education sector, aimed at enhancing the quality and accessibility of education nationwide. This funding is expected to address infrastructural needs and improve learning outcomes, particularly in underserved regions.
Additionally, the health sector is set to receive a Sh13.7 billion boost to advance the government's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) initiative. This funding will facilitate the expansion of healthcare services, ensuring more Kenyans have access to affordable and quality medical care.
Security remains a priority, with Sh7.5 billion earmarked to strengthen national security operations. The allocation is intended to enhance law enforcement capabilities and ensure the safety of citizens across the country.
The signing ceremony, held at the State House, was attended by several key government officials, including Moses Wetangula, the Speaker of the National Assembly; John Mbadi, the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury; Dorcas Oduor, the Attorney General; Kimani Ichung’wah, the Majority Leader of the National Assembly; Shadrack Mose, the Solicitor General; and Samuel Njoroge, the Clerk of the National Assembly.
This supplementary funding is expected to accelerate the government's ongoing efforts to implement reforms in these critical areas, ensuring sustainable development and improved public service delivery.
With the assent of this Bill, the government is poised to make significant strides in these sectors, aiming for long-term social and economic benefits for the Kenyan populace.
