Bigambo also lauded efforts by the state to promote economic inclusivityby lowering the cost of fertilisers, reducing fuel costs by 14 per cent, the timely repayment of social protection stipends, and increasing the financial pool of the Equalisation Fund.
The Committee noted the government's efforts to promote inclusivity in healthcare through the Social Health Authority (SHA).

3. Protecting and strengthening devolution
The Committee stated that the government had increased the equitable revenue share to counties from Ksh385billion to Ksh 415 billion.
"This increase is a major gain for devolution. Counties now receive timely monthly disbursements with no pending carry-overs as of June 30, 2025," Bigambo stated.
4. Promoting and Protecting the livelihood of the youths
The Committee cited many achievements under this agenda. The report revealed that over 90,000 youths were undergoing business training.
Notably, the state was lauded for the NYOTA fund, which has created employment opportunities for more than 820,000 young entrepreneurs.
Other employment opportunities were created under the affordable housing, stadium construction, and climate works programmes.

Ruto received acknowledgement for the enactment of the Conflict of Interest Act, which strengthens the commitment to reducing conflict of interest within the public sector.

Bigambo reported that the government had set aside Ksh2 billion in the 2025/26 Supplementary Budget towards the compensation of victims of protests and human rights violations.
He revealed that the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has secured convictions in 35 cases involving 49 officers engaged in police misconduct.
The Committee confirmed that the Demonstration bill, which was meant to curtail the rights and freedoms of protesters, had been withdrawn from Parliament.
Bigambo added that new policy directives on the use of force by police and the retraining of police officers will further ensure that protesters are protected.
7. National Debt
The Committee confirmed that the government had commissioned a comprehensive audit of the public debt by the Auditor General to strengthen transparency and the use of borrowed funds.
It also welcomed the government's decision to seek alternative sources of funds other than national debt, and the management of Kenya's debt portfolio through liability management.
8. Fight against corruption
The Report revealed that the procurement of an e-government procurement system has digitised several government services, hence promoting transparency.
"The single Treasury account system has consolidated government cash collection and management, improved transparency and minimised idle funds in commercial funds," the report read in part.
The Committee also reported that the state had passed the Money Laundering Bill, and the Combating of Terrorism Financing Laws Amendment Act has curbed the flow of illicit money in Kenya.
