State House Comptroller Katoo ole Metito has turned to Parliament in a bid to salvage a Sh1.7 billion budget after the House on the Hill suffered budget trims amounting to Sh5.1 billion for the 2024/2025 Financial year.
In the revised Supplementary Budget estimates for the current financial year, the National Treasury slashed State House's budget from Sh9.4 billion to Sh4.3 billion in keeping with the austerity measures called for by President William Ruto. This represents a 54 per cent reduction in the budget.
