The National Police Service is the biggest beneficiary after receiving a Sh7.5 billion boost in the 2024/2025 supplementary estimates approved by Parliament on Thursday.

This was after the House approved the supplementary estimates II which will increase the 2024/2025 financial year budget by Sh113.7 billion. Under the allocation, Sh2.5 billion will be directed towards Haiti peacekeeping mission where Kenya deployed an additional 144 police officers last month.

The funding for Haiti mission comes at a time the country is grappling with a funding freeze imposed by the US government early last month by President Donald Trump.
