The Treasury has signalled its intention to reduce the amount of taxpayers’ money that goes to the offices of First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and Mrs Rachel Ruto, the wife of Deputy President William Ruto, in the next financial year starting July.

The sum will reduce by Sh281 million, representing a 39 percent drop. Budget documents tabled in Parliament last Thursday show that the Treasury has cut non-essential spending on budget lines like travel, entertainment, motor vehicle purchase and fuel for the two offices.
