Senators in Kenya have endorsed a proposal requiring the National Treasury to submit monthly reports on county financial transactions, aiming to enhance oversight and prevent fund diversion. The initiative, backed by Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, was discussed during a Senate session on July 30, 2026, as part of debates on a motion sponsored by Busia Senator Okiya. Osotsi emphasized that the regular reporting would enable lawmakers to detect financial irregularities early and hold officials accountable. The proposal aligns with Kenya’s devolved governance structure, where counties manage their own budgets. The Senate’s support signals a growing focus on transparency in local government finances. The move is expected to strengthen fiscal discipline and reduce corruption risks in county administrations. (peopledaily.digital)
