The Treasury is seeking MPs’ approval for an extra Sh8.4 billion, largely to cater for increased travel, hospitality, and other operational expenses linked to President William Ruto’s office in Nairobi.

Budget documents tabled in the Parliament show the State House allocation is set to more than double from the Sh7.68 billion initially approved to Sh16.1 billion if the MPs approve the revised estimates.
