The 2021-22 Budget will the last full spending plan his administration will oversee. [File] The government will spend Sh3 trillion in the year to June 30, 2022, pushing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s eight-year total spending to Sh18.5 trillion. But as fate would have it, the president’s fiscal policy - which largely depends on massive spending and public revenue - might end as it started: with high expenditure needs, decreasing tax revenues and increased borrowing. Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Treasury will chalk up more debt, borrowing Sh937.6 billion to plug a budget hole caused by the virus, which has left the economy on its knees.
