The National Treasury, roundly accused of fueling inflation and the high cost of living through exaggerated budgeting and ghost workers, is expected to tell its side of story to the National Dialogue Committee on Monday.

The dialogue committee will hear from the Treasury, which has been put in a spot by the Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o over a number of issues including duplicating public service pay and lacking a register of national debts.
