The AZIMIO Coalition has raised serious allegations against the Kenya Kwanza government, claiming that the 2024/25 expenditure plan includes a staggering Sh1 trillion earmarked for corruption. The coalition has flagged what it describes as misplaced allocations within the Office of the President and five key ministries.
In a detailed statement, AZIMIO leaders pointed out several budgetary provisions they believe are intended to facilitate graft. They have called for a thorough audit and re-evaluation of the proposed expenditures, arguing that the funds could be better utilized for development projects and essential services for the Kenyan people.
The AZIMIO Coalition’s allegations have sparked a heated political debate, with calls for immediate action from anti-corruption bodies and parliamentary committees to investigate the claims. They have urged the public and civil society organizations to join in demanding transparency and accountability in the budgetary process.
In response, representatives from the Kenya Kwanza administration have dismissed the allegations as politically motivated. They argue that the budget allocations are in line with the government’s development agenda and are subject to the same scrutiny and accountability mechanisms as any other financial plan.
