President William Ruto’s administration projects expenditure for the day-to-day running of the government is Sh81.7 billion more than what the previous regime budgeted, pointing to piling spending pressures, including salaries and wages.

The Treasury has forecast recurrent budget for the financial year ending June to top Sh2.35 trillion, a 2.35 percent rise over Sh2.27 trillion estimates by his predecessor’s administration that handed over power last September.
