Overhaul national budget to reflect Covid19 economic realities

The National Treasury prepared a budget that was completely unhinged and which 'lives' in a parallel universe to that of our Covid-19 devastated world.

While the Kenyan economy has been fully opened, this was not done in a properly managed way. The country should have adopted a county situational analysis strategy with timed review mechanism rather than 'one size fits all'. The country is already seeing a wave of increasing infections. This makes it absolutely necessary to overhaul the FY2020/2021 budget to reflect and align it with the reality of Covid-19 and the worst social and economic crisis that we face. This is not the time for huge capital expenditure on mega projects.
