The National Treasury has issued a public notice inviting Kenyans and various stakeholders to submit their views for consideration in the Finance Bill 2026.
In a notice, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said the invitation is grounded in the constitution and existing laws that require citizens to be involved in decisions relating to public finance.
“The National Treasury hereby invites the members of the public, the national government and county governments, non-governmental organizations, civil societies, professional bodies, private sector players, religious groups and other stakeholders to make submissions for consideration in the fiscal budget for the Financial Year 2026/2027,” the notice read.
Mbadi added that the contributions should directly propose changes to tax laws for inclusion in the upcoming Finance Bill.
He said the proposals must also be in line with the government’s economic agenda.
“The proposals should focus on specific amendments to tax laws for inclusion in the Finance Bill 2026. Submissions should align with the Government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, which seeks to achieve economic turnaround and inclusive growth through a value chain approach,” the notice added.
Mbadi explained that each submission must be clear, specific and backed by evidence to enable proper review.
