The Treasury has made an about-turn and cut the Judiciary’s budget by Sh2.8 billion through a supplementary budget, setting the stage for a fresh confrontation with Chief Justice David Maraga.
On Tuesday, the Treasury sought MPs approval to increase spending by 2.8 percent to Sh3.13 trillion in its 2019/20 budget in a review that saw cuts in the recurrent expenditure. It chopped Sh1.49 billion meant for the dispensation of justice and another Sh1.37 billion meant for providing equitable access to expeditious delivery of judgments.
