Aden Duale","speaker":{"id":15,"legal_name":"Aden Bare Duale","slug":"aden-duale"},"content":"The BPS contains fourfold policy; both the macroeconomic policies, the financial outlook regarding the revenue that is anticipated; the expenditure anticipated; the borrowing that will finance the budget and the expenditures. One, the national Government has been allocated Kshs1.7 trillion; Parliament has been allocated Kshs38.5 billion; the Judiciary Kshs17.9 billion; and the county governments’ sharable revenue is Kshs310 billion. I saw the Senate saying they are going to add Kshs20 billion to the counties. The question is from where? This is the House that has the powers of budget-making. It is for us to act: it is not them to act. The Kshs310 billion is as a result of a meeting of the only body recognised in law –Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) chaired by the Deputy President - where all governors are. So, the Senate is cheating and is also looking for relevance."}
