Ruto’s Advisors, Including David Ndii, Set for Ksh 622M Earnings as Per Supplementary Budget
It is anticipated that the First Supplementary Budget for the Financial Year 2023/2024 will be approved by Parliament on Thursday.
During the period under review, the Executive has proposed spending Ksh622.5 million on government advisory services, according to the document.
Experts provide advisory services to the government, offering guidance to the state on a wide range of matters to aid officials in making well-informed decisions. Insights, analyses, and recommendations to enhance policies and programs are provided by these authorities.
The feline bounty is anticipated to be distributed to members of the Council of Economic Advisors, which is presided over by David Ndii, the principal economic counsel to President William Ruto.
This development holds considerable importance, particularly in light of Ndii’s outspoken criticism of government officials for misallocating public funds.
Ndii lamented in April that the Kenya Kwanza administration was mired in currency due to the failure of government officials to exercise the necessary degree of frugality in light of the economic climate.
The Supplementary Budget contains projections that the office of President William Ruto will receive a total of Ksh4 billion.
The National Assembly had initially allocated Ksh4.3 billion for the Office of the President; however, due to the implementation of austerity measures by the Kenya Kwanza administration, the amount has been reduced.

The supplementary budget proposes a Ksh90 billion increase in recurrent expenditure spending by the three branches of government, notwithstanding the austerity measures.
Ksh987 million of the Ksh4 billion allocated to the Office of the President will be used to fund government printing services.
The initial allocation for government printing services was Ksh1.1 billion.
The remaining ksh4 billion will be allocated to support services and general administration planning.
In contrast to the budget reduction experienced by the Office of President William Ruto, the Office of the Deputy President has been allocated Ksh4.3 billion, an increase from its initial allocation of Ksh3.5 billion.
The funds designated for Gachagua’s office are intended to streamline operations within the organization.
The budget allocated to the Government Coordination and Supervision Services office of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has remained unchanged at Ksh1.2 billion.
Significantly, an additional Ksh10 billion has been designated for the financing of State House Affairs, surpassing the initial allocation of Ksh6.4 billion.
