Spending on office furniture and refurbishment across government offices and official residences has risen by more than half in revised budget estimates, opening opportunities for local manufacturers as President William Ruto pushes public institutions to source domestically.

Supplementary budget documents for the current financial year ending in June show that allocations for office makeovers have increased from Sh522.19 million in the initial budget to Sh821.37 million in the revised estimates, a 57.29 percent jump.
