A report by Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o has revealed that foreign travel spending by the office of the DP Rigathi Gachagua, Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi and State House rose sharply.
CoB says the report notes growth in travel expenditure by MDAs compared to a similar period in FY 2022-23.
While the offices spent a combined Sh98 million last year – then under the Executive Office of the President - the amount has more than doubled in the same period this year.
Official budget data shows that the State House spent Sh147.7 million on foreign trips during the period under review, and Sh21.4 million by the Executive Office of the President.
