Monday, February 13, 2023 –President William Ruto has started facing internal challenges after he proposed slashing ministries’ expenditures to contain falling economy.

In a new analysis released this week by the Parliamentary Budget Office PBO, it was established that such a move may see staff  in various ministries enter into a go-slow; what may bring government services to jeopardy.

Ruto is pushing to reduce government spending in various ministries which he feels there has been a lot of wastage, then pump atleast sh 300 billion into the ailing Kenyan economy, this year.

This presidential directive will see budget cuts implemented on items such as hospitality, printing and domestic and foreign travel with foreign travel being the most notorious.

According to our sources, President Ruto wants to see the economy improve now seven months since he took power and there has not been substantial changes.

However, he has been warned that any move towards touching on ministries’ cash will require a delicate balancing act so that not to disrupt normal operations.

Before taking charge of the country, Ruto promised to turn around poor peoples’ lives through his Bottom Up economic approach model.

He also promised to make sure that any struggling citizen is provided with National Hospital Insurance Fund NHIF card. Fully catered for by his government.

However, most of these promises have remained just words on a paper seven months down the line.
