Preparations are going on at the National Treasury in high gear ahead of the reading of the 2023 - 2023 budget statement.
This is President Ruto's first budget since he ascended into power.
Treasury CS Njuguna Ndung’u last Friday said that the budget statement will be read at 3 pm.
It was a hive of activities as staff put in their best to ensure the publicity of the day through branding and fixing the national logo.
Cleaners were also seen ensuring the entrance to the National Treasury building is kept clean before the laying of a red carpet as has been the norm.
President William Ruto’s first budget comes to the national assembly against the backdrop of massive public debt and public disquiet over high inflation.
The Sh3.663 trillion (US$26.35 billion) plan sets out priority areas of an administration that campaigned on the platform of empowering the informal sector.
