In the Financial Year 2022/2023, according to CPA Mbadi and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, the Budget deficit was Ksh846 billion. In the Financial 2023/2024, the deficit increased to Ksh908 billion. But now, courtesy of the good Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, led by the Chairman, Hon. Kimani Kuria, the projected Budget deficit is Ksh597 billion. Hon. William Samoei Ruto is going to provide a balanced budget for this country. Watch this space. Watch this space, Hon. Members. He has promised to provide a balanced budget where we will not have to borrow. Hon. Speaker, did the Committee listen to Kenyans? Yes, it did. The Committee went all over the country and that is why they have dropped the proposed taxation on bread and motor vehicles, among a myriad of other things.
