The Treasury will scale down funding for ongoing IMF-backed automation of government tendering processes next financial year starting July despite pressure from President William Ruto for a full rollout.

Draft budget proposal documents show the Treasury will cut expenditure on the long-delayed project by more than three-quarters (82.14 percent) to Sh100 million from Sh560 million in the current financial year.
