The President returned to the United States on Tuesday after attending the Future Investment Initiative at the King Abdul Aziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In addition to leaving the nation, he was concerned about government spending on foreign travel.
Ruto instructed the Treasury to reduce the travel budgets of all government institutions by Ksh11 billion.
“I saw that the media saying I reduced the budget by Ksh500 million. No, it is not Ksh500 million, but I have reduced by Ksh11 billion for those going on those trips,” he stated while at a development tour in Voi on Friday.
According to a report by the Auditor General on the budget for the fiscal year 2022/23, government institutions spent Ksh20.37 billion on domestic and international travel.
Foreign travel cost the President’s office Ksh361,77 million. The funds covered the final three months of former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration and the first nine months of Ruto’s.
