Nairobi, April 27 -- Government spending on development projects jumped by Sh91.8 billion in the first nine months of the current financial year, signalling a renewed push to stimulate economic activity and support growth.

Data from the National Treasury shows that Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) spent Sh262.63 billion on development between July and March 2026, up 53.7 percent from the Sh170.83 billion recorded in a similar period last year.

The increase marks a big shift from the previous financial year, when development expenditure fell to an 11-year low, dragged down by budget cuts and diversion of funds to recurrent obligations.
