Why Have an Over ambitious Budget you Cant meet?CS Rotich Blasted

Kenyans have blasted at the National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich for having an over ambitious budget that the country can’t meet.

This follows the government’s proposal to slash its Sh3.026 trillion budget for the current financial year by Sh55 billion, a move that will affect key sectors of the economy.

The reduction is contained in the supplementary budget estimates prepared by National Treasury Cabinet Secretary  and tabled during a special sitting of the National Assembly on Tuesday.

If adopted by the MPs on Thursday – during a second special sitting, the budget will reduce to Sh2.971 trillion as the government fights to bridge a huge deficit because it is only able to raise about Sh1.6 trillion.

The proposed cuts will be considered on Wednesday by the Budget and Appropriations Committee chaired by Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah, before the report is tabled in the House on Thursday.
