The cost of maintaining an inner circle of advisers to President William Ruto has halved to nearly half a billion shillings, a victim of last year’s Gen Z protests that saw the State slash some budget items after widespread anger.

Budget documents tabled in Parliament show that the six advisory units will spend Sh478.7 million in the year starting July, down from Sh567.5 million in the current fiscal year.
