The Explainer | Budget 2024: Cut but spend?

MP Ndindi Nyoro: There is a budget increment in housing because it’s critical for job creation. There is also an increase in allocation in the immigration department because it provides passports and other documents

Dr Rugo was on a roll. Not letting anything slide.Very good accountability. As a people we need to put our foot down.

Huyu Nyororo story ya jaba ndio mingi, two years down the road and only increasing taxes with nothing to show for it. Huyu ni kikaragosi wa zakayo, bure kabisa kama mavi ya kuku..

[Sonnet-hdoi]

Nyoro is talking in superlatives, jumping all over the place. Sounds more like world salad.

[MilkahBwondara]

Why is this government starving yet milking a Kenyan? What wrong have Kenyans done to this government to deserve what they are going through this?

[jaimbo]

Additions and deductions actually indicates rutos priority. All the increased areas are associated with his reelection😮

[alasiri]

Please next time bring us Nyoro vs Sifuna, someone to hit hard where needed 😂😂😂

[kamasalothi]

Defending the indefensible, that’s why he’s grinning

[victorwanyumu]

I look forward to seeing how things work out especially on export substitutions....
These are the kind of converstions journalism should be about....
Great job the Explainer!

Budget for mabwenyenye ...

Security sector is usually the easiest Avenue for the bosses to steal money..they are not subjected to audit!!

[Cwa]

Comparisons should be realistic..we dont have similar economies..how do u compare a first economy with a developing one

[djybzrl]

He's trying to confuse us with trillions and billions but we refuse to loose our focus.

[kahugumuiruri]

Hon. Nyoro strugling to explain his numbers, Dr. Rugo objectively educating the people. At the end of the day its about factual numbers. Finance Bill 2023 has not yielded results, our deficit this year is already at 900 b up from 600 on paper. The 500 b for 2024 will also go up because the ability to raise 2.9 T seems far out of reach.

Cutting down on Agric, Education, Health..These guys are not serious

[kevinotieno]

How do you slash allocation from key sectors like education and health??

[oguta_]

When truth is no longer rumours, lies becomes useless.

[Kenneth_Maiyo]

Bwana Ndindi Nyoro, acha kutetea kitu haiteteeki.

[artjoji]

Health, education and agriculture .. is nothing to joke with.... re think this mr ...

[alexmwangi]

Nyoro is talking too much yet saying nothing. He doesn't know how to speak to non-technical people. Poor communication skills!

[solomonngao]

This is purely a budgeted corruption where vital areas like agriculture, education and health have seen a budget cuts this are areas which touches mwananchi directly hii ni serikali ya wadosi

[antonyndumia]

Bro you are really struggling to defend this oppressive budget
