The Treasury Sunday sought to assure Kenyans it is not cash-strapped, even with Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich being a man under siege; with falling tax collections and increasing financial demands from governors, contractors and State parastatals.
On the back of concerns about the health of the public purse, the Treasury gave a breakdown of exchequer disbursements from July 1 to October 16, totalling Sh208 billion, explaining that the Government “continues to meet its financial obligations,” according to a statement by the principal secretary published in local dailies.
