President William Ruto has signed the Supplementary Appropriations Bill into law which plans to reduce government's expenditure by Ksh.145.7 billion.
The Bill, which was considered and passed by the National Assembly on 31 July 2024, seeks to create a balance by reducing recurrent expenditure while safeguarding critical essential expenditure in the agriculture, health and education sectors among others.
This comes after the withdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024 which caused a revenue shortfall of approximately Kshs.344 billion, prompting the need to realign planned expenditures to the revised fiscal framework.
