Budgetary allocation for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has been slashed by Sh1 billion, an indicator that the transport system is not a priority for the new administration of President William Ruto.

In the latest supplementary budget for the current Financial Year ending June, the completion target for BRT stations is also being revised from a projection of 48 percent to zero percent, meaning there will be no more construction of the bus-based transit system in the current financial year.
