Ruto's projects to receive billions in upcoming budget

President William Ruto plans to allocate more than half of the 2026/27 fiscal year budget to his priority projects. These include housing, education, health, and infrastructure, according to the draft Budget Policy Statement (BPS). The Affordable Housing Programme (AHP) will be among those receiving significant funding.

The draft Budget Policy Statement (BPS) for the 2026/27 fiscal year indicates that Kenya's government under President William Ruto will allocate more than half of the budget to priority projects. These focus on key areas such as housing, education, health, and infrastructure.

The Affordable Housing Programme (AHP) will be a major recipient of funding, reflecting the government's commitment to providing affordable homes for citizens. Education and health sectors will also receive substantial support to improve public services.

This approach stems from the administration's strategy for sustainable development, though full budget details will depend on parliamentary approval.
