More by this Author Uganda and Burundi led the rest of East Africa in military spending last year allocating 2.2 and 2.3 per cent of GDP respectively to defence with Kenya increasing her expenditure to the highest level ever in nominal terms.

The two countries stayed ahead of Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda which spent 1.9, 1.2 and 1.1 per cent of their GDP respectively.



Uganda’s defence spending has stayed over 2 per cent of GDP rising to 4 per cent in the last two decades, even as the rest of the region made deliberate efforts to cut their spend in the same period.

Data released on Monday by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute shows that Kenya increased her defence budget by Sh3 billion last year to Sh74.1 billion, the highest in the region on nominal terms.

SIPRI is an independent international institute dedicated to research into conflict, armaments, arms control and disarmament funded by the Swedish government.




Kenya is faced with problems of terrorism, attacks from Oromo militias in Ethiopia and piracy in the Indian Ocean that have exposed the country’s military inadequacies.

“Due to the military “achievement” of KDF against Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia, Kenya would most likely want to obtain a greater influence on the political and administrative future of the region,” said Sipri.

Adjusted for inflation since 2011 SIPRI said Kenya spent $861 million compared to Uganda’s $465 million with Tanzania spending just $380 million.



Kenya’s military spending had been ranging between Sh20 and Sh30 billion in the early 2000s but had started rising to Sh40 billion after the country started modernising its military hardware that culminated into the Anglo Leasing scandal.


Africa is the only continent whose military budget stayed on a growth path as Europe, Asia and Americas cut their defence budget in austerity measures.

yaani mimi kama ni rais wa tz, kenya hata wakiwa na spending kubwa kiasi gani, siwahofii kabisa kwasababu ukilinganisha na tz, kenya tunaweza kuwatumia mgambo au polisi tu ndio level yao. wanajisifia sana kuhusu al shabab wa somalia, hivi unaweza kusema unapigana na vita kweli? kupigana na majangili yasiyo na vifaru wala nini halafu yanakusumbua hadi sasa hivi? kenya wanavyo vifaru na silaha nzito, al shabab hawana kifaru hata kimoja wala magari ya kivita hala moja hawana ila wamewazidi wakenya akili kichwani...ndio maana wanawasumbua hata sasaivi. al shabab wanatumia akili na magari mabov kushambulia vifaru, hivi askari kama wa kenya wangeweza kupambana hata na m23 wenye silaha nzito za Rwanda? kupambana na vijambazi kina mungiki na al shababu basi wanaona wanajuaaa kupigana vita kumbe mbulula kabisa. sifa za bure kabisa.

zaidi ya yote, al shababu wanapambana na askari makini wa uganda na burundi ambao wamezoea vita vya msituni kwa kitambo, kenya walitia timu tu kama walivyotia timu pale westgate mall kupambana na vijana wanne walioshatoa kamasi na kutokomea wakiacha vifaru vya wakenya vikiwa nje ya westgate. sifa ziende kwa askari wa uganda na burundi kule somalia wala si kenya.

Hahaha Wabongo huwa mnanipa raha sana. Sasa habari hii ni kuhusu Uganda na Burundi kwamba wanatumia kipato chao kikubwa kwenye shughuli za ulinzi, ila ikataja Kenya kama nchi barani EAC yote inayotumia hela nyingi kujithibiti ki-ulinzi kuliko nchi zote. Sasa ghafla Wabongo mshaanza wasiwasi. Jameni tulieni, msiwe na hofu maana hamna siku Kenya itapigana na Tanzania. Labda Rwanda inayotoshana na mkoa wenu mmoja inaweza wavuruga kweli.

Pili, Alshabaab walipokua na nchi pamoja na jeshi, tuliwaramba kwa moto hadi wakasambaratika, sasa wamebaki kurusha mabomu kwa kuvizia. Vita kama hivi vya sasa hamna nchi inayoweza kujiita mbabe maana jamaa hawa wanajifanya raia wetu wa kawaida halafu wanalipua na kutoroka. Vita vya uoga huku wakidai kwamba wanasubiriwa na allah watapewa mabikira 72. Kama Nigeria, Pakistan n.k.
Vita vyenu na M23 vilikua vya kawaida tu, maana wale walikua waasi na silaha, na mliwashabikia kwa usaidizi wa Afrika Kusini pamoja na majeshi ya Congo. Na walisalimu amri na kutorokea Uganda. Ingekua majanga kama wangekuja na kuishi na ninyi huko Dar na kulipua mabomu kiholela kwa misingi ya kidini.

This is laughable. You don't even know that SIPRI is not based in Kenya, but in Sweden. The nation newspaper merely quoted a report prepared by SIPRI.

Whatever you want to believe does not change any fact and you are entitled to your opinion anyway. What you think and want to believe is not exactly what the whole world thinks. Got that?

This heading is misleading. It is about leading in terms of military spending relative to GDP and not military wise.
