State House spent more than double the money planned in the first quarter of the current financial year, underscoring a persistent strain of President William Ruto’s fiscal consolidation plan amid shortfall in revenue.

Fresh Treasury data shows that the State House spent Sh4.32 billion against a quarterly target of Sh1.92 billion for the three months to September 30, overshooting its recurrent budget by 125 percent.
