Kibra’s NG-CDF pages promise allocations and disbursements. Both are blank.
Kibra constituency was allocated Sh179,441,954 from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund in the 2024/25 financial year.
That figure appears in two independent places – the public-finance tracker run by Mzalendo, and a national breakdown of 2024/25 allocations published by Education News – and the two agree to the shilling.
Almost everything else about the money is harder to find. The NG-CDF runs a site for each constituency. Kibra's carries pages headed "allocations" and "disbursements", each with the correct table headings and no data underneath them.
Mzalendo's tracker puts Kibra's allocation at Sh145.1 million in 2022/23, Sh175.4 million in 2023/24 and Sh192.6 million in 2025/26 – a rise of about a third over four years. KNN has not been able to check the 2025/26 figure against the schedule tabled in Parliament, and readers should treat it as provisional.
An allocation is not the same as money received. Mzalendo carries that warning on its own page, and the audit record backs it up: in 2019/20 Kibra was allocated Sh197 million and actually received Sh127.7 million.
Nationally, the fund is growing. Constituencies are due to share Sh58.7 billion in 2026/27, up 5.1%, which works out at roughly Sh151 million each as an equal share before poverty and population top-ups.
For comparison in 2024/25, Mathare got Sh191.4 million, Starehe Sh188.4 million and Langata Sh179.5 million. Kibra sat on the standard share.
An empty official transparency page is not a small thing. It is the one place a resident is told to look.
