The Office of the Controller of Budget in Kenya has initiated a public participation process for proposed changes to the law governing its operations, as outlined in the Draft Controller of Budget (Amendment) Bill and Draft Controller of Budget Regulations. These proposed regulations aim to address gaps in the implementation of the existing Controller of Budget Act, which oversees the management of national and county government budgets.
The public participation exercise includes a series of forums across the country, with the first taking place in Lodwar on October 12 for residents of Turkana and West Pokot. Written submissions must be submitted by October 8, 2026. The Controller of Budget, Margaret Nyakang’o, has been in her role since December 2019. The public forums are set to continue through November 12, with additional meetings scheduled in Nairobi, Kiambu, and Kajiado.
