Covering all 47 counties sounds ambitious. In practice, it produces thin data and little real accountability.
BNS Mashinani takes the opposite direction. We embed our teams in four counties — Kakamega, Kilifi, Nakuru, and Wajir — present for the full budget cycle, not a single site visit.
We work alongside county governments as accountability partners, not adversaries, and convert what we find into scorecards, live trackers, and "Promise vs. Delivery" stories that carry real weight and authentic stories that celebrate unique strides already made by these four diverse counties.
Next step
BNS is a true budget information ecosystem: BNS Connect monitors the national flow, BNS Mashinani dives into county-level scrutiny, and Wanahabari Lab trains the next generation of journalists and national finance storytellers — all powered by BNS Studios. Together, we transform a multi-trillion shilling budget into clear, accessible intelligence for every young Kenyan and partner.
