Budget Transparency (BT) is defined as the full disclosure of all relevant fiscal information in a timely and systematic manner. Budget Transparency is a precondition for public participation in budget processes.
To achieve this, The National Treasury has embarked on developing an easily accessible Budget Portal, aptly named Bajeti Yetu. The Portal is aimed at facilitating the public to access official Government budget documents and the interactive data that is contained in them.We sat down with team from Budget Department to understand the unique features of the portal,its impact and how it would empower ‘wanjiku’ to understand the budget making process.
