Ruto to MPs: Pass supplementary budget to enable key reforms

Kenyan President William Ruto has asked Parliament to pass a soon-to-be-tabled supplementary budget bill to enable his new administration attain some of the key promises he made in his campaign pitches and reshape the country’s fiscal environment.

Speaking on Thursday during his first address to a joint sitting of the Senate and National Assembly, the president said the country’s fiscal space is currently very strained and cannot accommodate the achievement of the said agenda in his manifesto.
