President William Ruto has assented to the 2025 Finance Bill.
Ruto signed the bill into law on Thursday morning at State House, Nairobi after MPs passed the proposed legislation last week.
The signing comes a day after deadly anti-government protests that saw thousands of Gen Z youth pour out in the streets. The protests also saw at least 16 persons shot dead by police.
At the same time, Ruto also signed the 2025 Appropriation Bill, allowing the Treasury to withdraw Ksh.1.88 trillion from the Consolidated Fund for the 2025/26 financial year.
The bill permits ministries, departments, and agencies to use Ksh.672 billion in Appropriation-in-Aid, as approved by Parliament.
