Oya. Si tulisema no new developments mpaka zile ziko on course or stalled zimalizwe?

Well that what was said by media. Reading President Uhuru statement in full would be good. All new projects have been halted. Priority given to ongoing projects unless expressly approved by CS Treasury Rotich.

Why? Better money management. The financial budget 2018-2019 was passed just this July 2018. 3 trillion in full. 2 trillion tax collection target for KRA (400 billion devolved funds-600 billion loan repayment-500 billion recurrent expenses-500 billion development). 350 billion domestic loans, 650 billion foreign commercial, bilateral loans and grants. The amount to be spent on development this financial year is 1 trillion (500 billion by KRA and 500 billion loans)

Within 2 weeks ministries were rushing to award tenders and that would mean Treasury would be hard pressed to facilitate all payments at a go. Some coordination is needed. Treasury expects KRA to collect 150 billion a month for 12 months. So it simply has now informed ministries to plan out for the whole year progressively. Every month they should have a budget for recurrent expenses, ongoing projects and the proposed new projects that was passed in the budget. Treasury will get all this submissions from Ministries align them with their collections and inflows. Some will be approved, others rescheduled and others stopped. Either way now Treasury is taking a more direct control of expenditure at ministries.

So new projects haven’t been halted as such, its only that due care has been placed that Treasury has to align all and approve them before they are launched. I welcome this directive, it allows better planning and suppliers get paid for work done instead of waiting for months or a year.

tell us about the Lurambi-Navakholo -Bungoma rd. The one they even came with tractors to commission last year just before elections. Then after elections, they packed and left.
