The entire budget on foreign travel, training, purchases of furniture and motor vehicles has been cut, leaving the items the worst hit by President William Ruto’s Sh300billion austerity plan on the expenditures of ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) in the current 2022/2023.
A schedule by Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u showed that 100 percent of the remaining balances on foreign travel, training, and motor vehicle and furniture purchase budgets as of September 30, 2022, have been cut.
