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. Youth employment, that definitely is for the big boys Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune - Jim Rohn.
