Help needed here;

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-310,957M
Net 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.

Youth employment, that definitely is for the big boys smile

so this means half of the budget is reccurent expenditure?


More like nobody knows what half of the budget is spent on.d'oh! d'oh!

Recurrent,
salaries and allowances
, stationary and other supplies and niceties. The gok is the largest employer and thats where the shift should begin.




If funds are allocated to the ministry of education for example, are teachers' salaries not inclusive?

If so, which salaries/recurrent expenses are these, without a parent ministry and taking half the country's budget?
