Business Daily reports that the increments include funds for the purchase of cars, local travel, and an undisclosed allocation labeled other ‘operating expenses’.

The budget for car purchase by State House has been increased to Sh300 million from Sh10 million while the fuel allocation has been revised upwards by Sh25 million to Sh98.9 million.

Sh1.05 billion has been set aside for ‘other operating expenses’ on top of the Sh1.2 billion approved by MPs last year. An additional Sh205 million has been allocated on travel and accommodation, Sh41 million for machinery purchase, and Sh20 million for car maintenance.

Similarly, the budget for the Deputy President’s office has been increased from Sh1.41 billion to Sh1.43 billion while Sh31.6 million has been set aside for refurbishing Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s office.

The State House budget increment, which comes six months before President Kenyatta exits office, is the highest among all ministries and departments.

    Where does all this money come from considering the high unemployment rate in Kenya even if the few honest kenyans pay their taxes surely this must be covid loans and the chinese money being misused.Instead of forgiving these loans the chinese continue to occupy Africa where in a few decades these people will be the new elite.Who will save africans from themselves
