The Explainer | Budget 2024: Cut but spend?

MP Ndindi Nyoro: There is a budget increment in housing because it’s critical for job creation. There is also an increase in allocation in the immigration department because it provides passports and other documents

[@lilliangithui]

Dr Rugo was on a roll. Not letting anything slide.Very good accountability. As a people we need to put our foot down.

[@JesseClassic]

Huyu Nyororo story ya jaba ndio mingi, two years down the road and only increasing taxes with nothing to show for it. Huyu ni kikaragosi wa zakayo, bure kabisa kama mavi ya kuku..

[@mutosh]

Very useless story that doesn't add

[@vivosereni]

Ndindi 'Billion' Nyoro for the first time have come to understand you are avery bright guy ... kindly manage our economy effectively .May God bless you all and the president.

[@Sonnet-hd1oi]

Nyoro is talking in superlatives, jumping all over the place. Sounds more like world salad.

[@antonymwangi4986]

That's because you didn't listen when in class

[@qulthumquanunga7436]

😂😂 world salad!!!

😂😂

[@MilkahBwondara]

Why is this government starving yet milking a Kenyan? What wrong have Kenyans done to this government to deserve what they are going through this?

[@wakawaka5131]

..we voted into office educated thieves who have figured out since 2010 that it is more profitable to steal the loans they borrow under our name and make us pay for it by hiking the taxes in order to keep their ATM( which is our good name and credit in the international lending markets) solvent. Waiting to steal tax collections was so 1963-2007 and would never get you into the billionaire class.

[@alasiri2275]

Please next time bring us Nyoro vs Sifuna , someone to hit hard where needed 😂😂😂

[@firdoshvirjee3592]

I abosuletly agree with you 💯

[@allanmureithi8692]

[@kamasalothi1040]

Defending the indefensible, that’s why he’s grinning

[@fresh6993]

Cutting down on Agric, Education, Health..These guys are not serious

[@user-dj7yb5zr3l]

He's trying to confuse us with trillions and billions but we refuse to loose our focus.

[@simonmurigu8835]

Agree with you. Ndindi Nyoro is trying to use all the jargon for common man not to understand.

[@jaimbo001]

Additions and deductions actually indicates rutos priority. All the increased areas are associated with his reelection😮

[@fredrickochieng5851]

Budget for mabwenyenye ... Security sector is usually the easiest Avenue for the bosses to steal money..they are not subjected to audit!!

[@kahugumuiruri9057]

Hon. Nyoro strugling to explain his numbers, Dr. Rugo objectively educating the people. At the end of the day its about factual numbers. Finance Bill 2023 has not yielded results, our deficit this year is already at 900 b up from 600 on paper. The 500 b for 2024 will also go up because the ability to raise 2.9 T seems far out of reach.

[@2008TheNemesis]

Imagine that the one speaking nonesense is the one we voted for... let that sink in. We did this to ourselves. It's not that we don't have good and smart people, we do. We just prefer crooks and content creators to lead us

[@oguta_254]

When truth is no longer rumours, lies becomes useless.

Who cares about Kenya company of some previlleged worship and praise leaders,as long us they have their share

[@antonyndumia9441]

Bro you are really struggling to defend this oppressive budget

[@ceciliagathitu3581]

Comparisons should be realistic..we dont have similar economies..how do u compare a first economy with a developing one

[@victorwanyumu5754]

I look forward to seeing how things work out especially on export substitutions.... These are the kind of converstions journalism should be about.... Great job the Explainer!

[@wanyonyiinnocent5872]

Yvonne has done so well to deconstruct everything here

[@solomonngao2300]

This is purely a budgeted corruption where vital areas like agriculture, education and health have seen a budget cuts this are areas which touches mwananchi directly hii ni serikali ya wadosi

[@fredrickochieng5851]

Hehe they come up with budget estimates they can't defend .They come up with finance bill they can't defend..so who really drafts these things ?

[@SheillaMideva]

Weuh this govt .. nothing is aligning

[@jjthakkar1136]

More money can be raised if all the politicians who are Citizens of Kenya like other Citizens of Kenya are also taxed Why should they NOT pay taxes???

[@Kenneth_Maiyo]

Bwana Ndindi Nyoro, acha kutetea kitu haiteteeki.

[@peternagemiomulweyi639]

[@bonnygatobu4784]

Nyoro trying too hard to convince us, What a shame ?

[@kevinotieno9297]

How do you slash allocation from key sectors like education and health??

[@c.muguro]

Something very revealing caught my attention.. If you listen to Ndindi Nyoro at 7:22 , you hear him say that we're repaying 1.08 Trillion in both local and foreign debt repayment in interest rates, but almost 75% of that(750 Billion) is debt repayment to local lenders. Going by figures, we have more external debt(around 5.1 Trillion in a total national debt of 9.6 Trillion) than local. The President has always indicated it is better having a big chunk of our loans being locally sourced due to better interest rates in comparison to external loans interest rates. Ndindi's statement indicates otherwise, it is evident locally sourced loans attract more interest than externally sourced loans.

[@vw2327]

Kibaki alikopa dollar ikiwa 80ksh now we are repaying external debt ikiwa 130ksh.a country can handle internal debt easily through inflation. Be more worried about PPP's like express way.coz the it's external.

[@vw2327]

@@brainywriters3446 am saying the 10% interest rate on eurobond is deceiving compared to 16% local currency. local debt=interests- inflation rate,while eurobond =interest+%inflation.

[@CNyabera]

Its Okay Overtax 😂....But then Again We want to See how much of the Debt We have Paid ??😂...whats the Remaining Balance??? Or Are We Just Overtaxin without Austerity Measures?

[@aureliamunene2730]

Sometimes it is better to just say.... you are not very sure about what you're doing and LISTEN to experts and to the CITIZENs. And if you are sure about what you are doing, search your soul, is it right to reduce funds to citizens that need it most? Search your soul. Is it right? Is it fair?

[@josephinewanjiru3606]

Kingereza mingi but wasting the money this is not rightwating money on yourself

[@sheikhfadhilaljahdhamy6751]

I will make it simple, if you see them raise taxes means we are not selling so they raise taxes for them to meet the allocation. So they raise taxes that means we are doing very bad economically this is what we get when we keep economists and politician in power they have no mercy in their hearts

[@bryankibet1587]

Why is education loosing???thats a trigger warning

[@jaimbo001]

Education, health and agriculture and yet he talks of next year Kenya will be food sufficient. How is that possible with the cuts? What is more important, health or immigration?😮😮😮

[@kingkang185]

This is a world bank budget. Austerity measures on social services like health and education to be taken over by private. Remember replacing NHIF? 2. They are starving agriculture so as to encourage importation. Last but not least security. Kenya is now a police state. RIP gen Ogolla

[@astphful]

25:23 Dr.Rugo asks a question about the rationale for shifting around monies. the rationale = CORRUPTION ! BUDGETED CORRUPTION.

[@stacymutua7401]

We don't have ongoing projects.. where are these loans going to?

[@leewythaka8309]

We have mega projects going on, konza city and lappset for example.

[@joseckmogaka3926]

So when people are evicted rrom their place of living without an alternative without resources and he claims that they have alocated resources for these situations ? Kenyans are smart than he thinks . Eat and go you but it is a curse to your generations . Travel and use the resources which you tax the poor. Celebrate and celebrate .

[@paulnakuo6214]

Nyoro amenyoroshwa kabisa

[@ronaldjoseph9168]

The 2024 finance bill should allocate more to education, disaster preparedness, agriculture and healthcare and on improving other pillars for industrialization like low cost transportation systems like rail transportation

[@markgeorge7426]

Wow, the debt has taken everything

[@samuelkagunyi7116]

This budget isn't defendable all all no matter how nyoro confuses us by his tone in pronuncing BILLIONS,TRIRRIONS, MILLIONS,etc !!!

[@Sonnet-hd1oi]

The topic is great. However, it lacks data. If inflation was@5% provide sources or graphic display, to prevent he said/she said. Would make the discussion more informative.

[@fredrickonjiko391]

My worry is not about these projections, I am concerned about the budget allocations whereby billions are added to the office of the president and DP without portfolio

[@erazfree]

All the housing levy funds should go towards industrialization (and not houses). Once employed and earning well, kenyan's will build their homes. Agreed, there should be social housing to help the transition and the rent should be 30% of the minimum wage

education should be free if they don't get allocations

[@victorwanyumu5754]

Good questions and good responses/answers

[@davidmuriuki]

a common practice has been to move certain lucrative tenders to the Ministry of defence so that they can evade scrutiny. Government can then single source or award to whomever they choose as the tendering in the ministry of defence cannot be challenged since they are confidential.
