Speaking after appearing to the appearance before the Budget and Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, Kiptoo highlighted the country’s ongoing efforts to maintain fiscal stability and implement critical reforms.

The PS appeared before the committee, led by Samuel Atandi, to discuss the implementation of the FY 2025/26 Budget.

The session covered key areas, including revenue performance, expenditure pressures, and first-quarter budget execution.

Kiptoo also outlined measures underway to improve efficiency in public spending and accelerate reforms aimed at strengthening financial management systems.

“Our engagement covered revenue performance, expenditure pressures, first quarter budget execution, and the measures underway to strengthen fiscal stability, improve efficiency in public spending, and accelerate reforms such as e-procurement, the Treasury Single Account, and Zero-Based Budgeting,” Kiptoo explained.

He emphasised that Kenya is working closely with Parliament to ensure the country’s economic and budget priorities align with its broader development goals and the expectations of citizens.

“We are working closely with Parliament to ensure that our economic and budget priorities are firmly aligned with the country’s development goals and the expectations of the Kenyan people,” he added.
