The Kenyan budget deficit...A good analysis Okwaroh. The Kenyan budget deficit is truly worrisome, added to the fact that the minister was not categorical on how the deficit will be raised, its disquieting. Most of us are thrown into speculation; domestic borrowing? ODA? both? Whichever choice will have negative consequences if you factor in the resulting inflation and donor conditionality. The budget gaps have to be shrinking the fraction allocated to non-recurrent expenditure has to wane if we are to head anywhere near middle income status.<br /><br />We form institutions and try to fund them directly while they can be funded under established ministries to avoid duplication. NACADA was allocated Ksh 1 Billion to enforce Mututho laws and for drug rehabilitation. When did the police stop enforcing laws? Shouldn't NACADA be funded under the ministry of public health? <br /><br />All in all we should still be hopeful, and pray that the landlords will not pass their tax obligations to the poor Kenyan tenants.Ojalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220076551985293163.post-8120384590350118592012-06-14T22:34:44.944-07:002012-06-14T22:34:44.944-07:00Ken,i think u hit the nail on the head on the budg...Ken,i think u hit the nail on the head on the budget allocations especially the key economic sectors,its awesome the way you've comparatively put the facts.very well done.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676686275436685708noreply@blogger.com
