Is government on 'fuliza' mode? What Treasury numbers show

The financial year they inherited (2022/23) opened with a balance of Sh95 million. The truth is these balances tell us nothing - the government collects taxes and receives other funds every day and all the time and then distributes funds in as orderly (or chaotic) a fashion as possible.

Now let's get to the interesting parts of this report. To be clear, this is what we would call a "flash report" in the private sector - a quick summary of, to repeat, the government's funds inflows and outflows through its main exchequer account at the Central Bank. The better details will come later from the Treasury's Quarterly Economic and Budget Review (QEBR) and the Controller of Budget's quarterly National and County Budget Implementation Review Reports. But it's still interesting because it tells us about two items that are pure cash/funds flows - taxes and debt.
