Paying for the subsidies that the Jubilee administration offered Kenyans in its dying days as well as fulfilling some of the Kenya Kwanza promises are some of the key features of William Ruto's first mini budget released this week.

The settling of debts owed for maize flour and petroleum subsidies as well setting up the Hustler Fund and implementation of the fertiliser subsidy have come top of the Supplementary Budget that the National Treasury unveiled Tuesday.
