Wajir, Kenya – The Wajir County Assembly is set to receive an enhanced budget following the approval of Supplementary Budget I for the 2025/2026 financial year. Originally allocated Kshs. 894.8 million, the Assembly’s funding has been boosted by an additional Kshs. 70 million in carryover funds, bringing the total allocation to Kshs. 964.8 million. County officials noted that the increased funds are intended to strengthen the Assembly’s oversight and legislative functions.
The supplementary budget comes amid growing calls for more effective governance and accountability at the county level. The additional resources are expected to support operational needs, enhance service delivery, and facilitate more robust oversight of county executive activities. Analysts say this adjustment demonstrates the county government’s commitment to ensuring that the legislative arm has adequate resources to perform its mandate.
Local leaders and residents have welcomed the budgetary revision, emphasizing that a well-funded County Assembly is crucial for transparency, monitoring of county projects, and safeguarding public interests. As Wajir continues to implement key development projects across sectors such as health, education, and infrastructure, this financial boost is expected to reinforce the Assembly’s role in guiding sustainable growth and responsible fiscal management.
