In Financial Year 2015/16, we saw a significant drop to 0.83 per cent. In Financial Year 2016/17, it dropped further to 0.76 per cent. In Financial Year 2017/18, it dropped slightly to 0.7 per cent. In the current financial year, it is at 0.57 per cent, which is a very sad state of affairs despite the fact that the national Budget is more than Kshs3 trillion."}
