President William Ruto has directed ministries to cut their budget by 10 per cent to cut costs amid renewed push for austerity.
This follows a cabinet meeting that was held at State House Nairobi on Tuesday.
“President William Ruto has directed ministries to cut their 2023/2024 budgets by 10 per cent to align expenditures with available resources amidst the global economic stress,” read the dispatch in part.
The move also comes amidst concerns from Kenyans over the expenditure from the government amidst increased taxation.
On the other hand, the Cabinet resolved to set aside Ksh4 billion to purchase maize from farmers that were harvested in August.
It was also noted that measures would be taken to help the farmers in drying and storing the produce to mitigate post-harvest losses.
