The State House and the Office of the Deputy President are the most impacted offices following the approval of the Supplementary Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2024. Passed last week, the Bill aims to adjust budget allocations for the three branches of government to address a Sh344 billion revenue shortfall after the Finance Bill, 2024, was rejected.
Both the State House and the Office of the Deputy President will see a reduction of Sh6 billion each, while the Treasury faces a significant cut of Sh7 billion. The Bill also stipulates that various development projects under medical services will be suspended due to a Sh6.9 billion cut, and road and transport sector projects will be affected by a Sh17.3 billion reduction.
Overall, the national government's budget will be reduced by Sh145 billion,with Sh40 billion cut from recurrent expenditure and Sh105 billion from development
The Executive will bear the brunt of these cuts, with a reduction of Sh139.81 billion across various ministries.
