Parliament has reorganised the Treasury’s Sh4.29 trillion budget that has seen the military emerge as the biggest winner with an additional Sh13 billion allocation, in a review that cut allocations to education, tourism and sports.

The Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC), which oversees and reviews the budget, added Sh33.01 billion to the estimates that Treasury had submitted to Parliament ahead of the formal budget reading today.
