National Treasury increases allocation for State House renovations after adjustments in the supplementary budget.
According to the Treasury document, the State House will be allocated Ksh26 million more refurbishments in the President’s official residence in Nairobi.
Consequently, following the revisions, the total budget for the refurbishments for Nairobi now moves from Ksh795,471,940 to Ksh821,471,940.
As explained in the supplementary budget, the Ksh26 million will be used to acquire specialized equipment and machinery.
Notably, while the budget for the refurbishment of Nairobi has been increased, the budget for the refurbishment of State House buildings in Nakuru was reduced.
Initially, the budget for the Nakuru building renovations was set at Ksh105,490,000 before the Ksh26 million reduction.
Therefore, the new budget for the renovations at Nakuru now stands at Ksh79,490,000.
State House has been undertaking renovations for the main facilities in Nairobi and State Lodges across the country.
While the main building at State House is still undergoing works, the government constructed a presidential dais which also hosts offices for President William Ruto.
