Earlier, CS Yattani, in an interview with Citizen TV expressed confidence in delivering a legacy the president hopes for, saying, “there have been a lot of investment towards big four agenda, recovery efforts, stimulus projects and infrastructure developments.
Kenyans are rife with expectations as they await to hear strategies that the government will put in place and monies allocated to various sectors, as Yattani presents the Sh3.6 trillion budget.
This is his second budget against a backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, coupled with a shrinking economy, job losses and high tax inflation.
