“They have given recommendations all those recommendations are okay. Where they said we lessen Government spending by 50%, I have done that already. Those calling for lessening to be done by 30%, I suggest that they increase it to 50% for Kenya to move forward. We must learn to live within our means,” he added.
The committee, through a joint statement on Saturday, November 25, highlighted the need to curtail travel budgets across government arms by 50% and recommended a 30% reduction in Daily Subsistence Allowances for State and Public Officers.
President Ruto applauded the National Dialogue Committee for comming up with the recommendations.
“I want to congratulate all the teams. I have seen the recommendations and they are in good state and are practical. We are going to work on them. Those that belong to the Executive I will make sure they are implemented without any delay,” said Ruto.
