A report by the Controller of Budget, Margaret Nyakang'o, has exposed alleged massive wastage of taxpayers' funds in the Executive Office of the President.
According to Nyakang'o, President William Ruto's office spent Ksh2 million per day on printing services during the 2024/2025 financial year, despite the Head of State's promise of austerity measures.
Out of the Ksh4 billion budget allocated to the President's office, State House spent Ksh817 million annually on printing, a figure which translates to Ksh68 million monthly and Ksh2.2 million daily.
The services include paper used to print government policies, executive orders, directives and proclamations issued to ministries and other government agencies.
