Pastoralists fault low allocation to livestock sector
Treasury CS John Mbadi delivers the FY 2026/2027 Budget Highlights at Parliament Buildings, outlining the government's fiscal policy direction and priority spending areas for the coming financial year.
Kenya has proposed Sh5 billion allocation to the livestock sector in the 2026/27 financial year to strengthen the pastoral economy that sustains millions of livelihoods across arid and semi-arid regions.
National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi, presenting a Sh4.8 trillion budget in Parliament, proposed Sh3.3 billion for de-risking, inclusion and enhancement of the pastoral economy, Sh1.3 billion for the Kenya Livestock Commercialisation Programme, and Sh400 million for livestock value chain support.
