Budget has glaring inconsistencies

Should we call a lie a lie? When is a lie a lie?” That is a question celebrated novelist Chimamanda posed to the Harvard Class of 2018, expounding that the act of lying has gained much political potency in America that it somehow feels apt.

Kenya also seems to be sharing from the same potency. One thing the CS of Treasury failed in this year’s budget statement is telling the taxpayer the truth. Instead, he chose to deploy creative macroeconomic accounting to intentionally mislead the taxpayer about this year’s budget.
