Nairobi; Kenya: The Government will contract few agents to offer travel services to ministries, parastatals and State agencies before the end of the year. The initiative aims to cut the travel expenditure by 30 per cent. It will also ensure all the civil servants travelling abroad use the national carrier, Kenya Airways.
Transport Principal Secretary Nduva Muli said the Government will have a pool of agents to offer travelling services at competitive rates before December. "We spend between Sh3 billion and Sh4 billion to finance local and foreign trips of civil servants. By selecting a few agents, our aim is to reduce the travel expenditure by 30 per cent," said Mr Muli.
