Wednesday, July 31, 2024 - The National Assembly Budget and Appropriations Committee has proposed several budget cuts for the first Supplementary Estimates for the financial year 2024/25.
Chaired by Kiharu Member of
Parliament Ndindi Nyoro, the committee proposed a Ksh100,000 reduction in the
hospitality services in the office of the Deputy President.
The DP's office was among the
offices in which the committee proposed budget cuts.
According to the Supplementary
Budget for the said financial year, the office of the DP will face some budget
cuts including the scrapping of construction for any targeted works at his
Harambee House Annex.
"The Approved Estimates
have been revised from Ksh4.9 billion to Ksh2.7 billion under the FY 2024/25
Supplementary Estimates No. 1, reflecting a net decrease of Ksh2.2 billion on
account of rationalization of expenditures," read part of the budget.
Additionally, the budget for
the maintenance of his official residence was also reduced by 100 per
cent.
However, some sectors in the
office of the DP will not be affected by the cuts such as administration
services, affairs coordination and the level of cross-cutting services
mainstreamed.
However, the committee did not
propose any budget cuts for the Office of the President or the Office of
the Prime Cabinet Secretary.
