It is all systems go as the National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani is expected to read the 2022/2023 budget.

Preparations are ongoing as the country awaits Ukur to read the Sh3.31 trillion budget for the financial year, starting July.

This is 4.8 per cent more compared to the Sh2.9 trillion budget for the 2020/21 fiscal year.

The Budget comes two months earlier than the usual June date to allow sufficient preparation for the August 9 general elections.

Ukur will deliver the budget proposals on April 7, 2022, from 3:00 pm at the National Assembly, Nairobi.

Heavy security personnel has been deployed around the area.
