The roads budget is once again on the chopping board after the Treasury slashed total spending for the programme by Sh55.6 billion, with a big chunk of the reduction being in development expenditure.
A new mini budget submitted by Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u shows that allocation towards the building of roads, or capital expenditures, was cut by Sh43 billion as the government made changes to its budget due to lower-than-expected revenue collections.
