NAIROBI, KENYA: State house has denied report in a local daily it had allocated sh 4 billion for facelift.

In a statement, the Presidential Press service said Sh300 million from 2013/14 annual budget estimate would be used in routine maintenance and repair of the seven State Houses and lodges scattered across the country.

“The truth is that the proposed recurrent and development  expenditure for the seven state  houses and lodges  located across the country  as captured  in the 2013/2014 estimates is Ksh 1.8 billion. Out of this, the repairs, routine maintenance and facelift have been allocated only sh 300 million," said the statement.

The budget estimates are a public document that are open to public scrutiny  and   should be accurately  interpreted  to avoid  creating wrong impressions, especially at a time  of increased expenditure demands by both the county and central governments.
