A very expensive budget at very difficult economic times. This is a PR budget.

All that glitters is not gold

budget 101 - the size of the budget is determined by treasury technocrats not the politician/minister

Someone clever educate me....

From the figures,it seems we will be spending almost 1 billion (say around 800m) on defence a week! Surely,we are not at war,we had allocated the same for last year,what do these guys do with this money? we dont buy vifarus every year,do we? and if we do,where do the others go to? we havent been at war ever,what do we do with all the money we allocate to defence? And the damn choppers are falling all over our houses bila mpango!!!!

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

...Kenya as country is simply weird

there's is always something to hope for...

Sh 800 M per week might not a lot of money. I am not sure how many people are working in defence. If say the number is 25000 the sh 3.2B per month turns to be about sh 128k per person per month on average. This is not a lot considering it wil include salaries,food,medical expenses,etc. No capital expenditure included here. Does this make sense?
