It will cost up to Sh2.7 trillion for President William Ruto's administration to implement its rosy promises over the next five years, a new report shows.

The Sh2.67 trillion is the total war chest required over a five-year period by the new administration with the first year requiring Sh473 billion, about a fifth of the total amount.

The monumental cost of funding Ruto's Bottom-up Plan comes at a time when the new administration faces a narrowing fiscal space to roll out its policies, amid high debt repayment obligations.
