Why you should be worried about Rotich's new budget

The Sh3.074 trillion Government expenditure plan for the 2018-2019 fiscal year is disturbing owing to the fact that the country is already deep in debt. One may be excited that the Government plans to spend a larger amount of money to better the lives of citizens.

However, we must be realistic, especially about the implications of this budget to the taxpayer. As the needs to be met increase, expenditure also tends to go up meaning poor Kenyans will have to pay more taxes.
