President William Ruto’s order to ministries and public agencies to cut spending by Sh300 billion may have come at a huge cost to service delivery for citizens, the Controller of Budget (CoB) has warned.
The CoB, in the national government budget implementation review report for July to December 2022, revealed that the move caused the locking of the government’s official procurement system, denying access to ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) planning to procure goods and services.
