The government will have to borrow at least Sh2.6 billion daily to finance its operations after MPs adopted the report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) on the Sh3.66 trillion budget for the 2021/22 financial year.

This came even as MPs Aden Duale, John Mbadi and Kimani Ichung’wah were apprehensive that the budget portends difficult times for Kenyans ravaged by unemployment made worse by the Covid-19 pandemic.
