How does the govt budget add up to Sh. 2.3 Trillion. I find this figure very large and it seems our media forgot to disclose how the entire amount is to be spent. Where is the money spent.
A breakdown of key spending's from yesterdays budget summary is as follows:
Counties = 304B
Security = 264B
Railway = 154B
Roads = 148B
Education= 140B
Energy = 40B
Flood Control = 39B
Free high school educ = 32B
Health = 31B
Free Primary educ = 15B
laptops = 13B
Agric = 12B
Youth Emp = 21B
Ports = 7B
Total Approx. 1.2Trillion
This is only 50% of the estimates, the only major cost I think is missing here is debt payments. And my assumption is that the above costs include project and recurrent expenditures.
So qsn is how is it that 50% of budget spending is not disclosed? Recurrent expenditure-850,304M Development expenditure-809,044M Interest payments and pension-310,957MNet lending-2,127M Contingency fund-5,000M County allocation-284,785M A government with its priorities upside down running an almost socialist budget.Why would laptops get more allocation compared to agriculture which we claim is the backbone of the economy? And I didn't know Kenya has such a big flood problem we need a whole KES 39 Billion to control it. Agriculture is a devolved function.The 12 billion could be for irrigations schemes like Galana kulalu,katilu and others run by national govt. Towards the goal of financial freedom
