Lest we forget: Last year’s (2021/22) budget highlights

Treasury Cabinet Secretary makes his way to the Parliament to present the 2021/22 budget.

It was a Sh3.6 trillion affair to a nation crippled by the coronavirus pandemic and the second budget since the first case of the virus was reported in the country in March 2020.

• Saw an increase of Sh800 billion from Sh2.84 trillion in the 2020/21 financial year.
• Exchequer set itself an arduous target of collecting more than a trillion shillings in taxes by the end of June 2022. This was termed as very ambitious given the fact that the taxman had been missing targets.
