Legislators have now increased their spending limit by a staggering Sh7 billion for the financial year starting July 1, even as the Health ministry's budget was cut by Sh73.4 billion.

At the same time, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) kept its allocation of Sh39 billion, while the Office of the President retained its Sh4.7 billion allocation.
