Kenya’s maize production is projected to decline by 39 per cent to 2.2 million tonnes by June 2027, raising concerns over food security and the possibility of rising food prices ahead of the General Election year. The sharp drop, linked to extreme weather conditions, is the steepest decline below the five-year average in five decades, putting pressure on essential commodities and household budgets.

Kenya's banking sector recorded a historic KSh205.58 billion in total tax contributions in 2025, representing a 5.53 per cent increase from the KSh194.81 billion reported in 2024. The figure, published in the Kenya Bankers Association's Total Tax Contribution Report 2025, represented approximately 8 per cent of total government revenue and 22.15 per cent of corporate tax receipts. The contribution consisted of KSh98.36 billion in taxes borne directly by participating institutions and KSh107.22 billion collected on behalf of the government. Increased withholding tax collections, employment-related taxes and excise duty helped shape the overall results.
