Many counties lack transparency in the process of preparing their budgets, according to a new report.

County Budget Transparency Survey (CBTS), a report by International Budget Partnership-Kenya (IBP Kenya), flagged Kajiado, Isiolo, Migori, and Wajir as counties that denied the public prerequisite documents for the preparation of budgets in 2022.
