Afisi ya Kindiki inataka Sh350 milioni zaidi kwa shughuli za kila siku

Afisi ya Naibu Rais Profesa Kithure Kindiki imeitaja ombi la Sh350 milioni zaidi ili kugharamia shughuli zake za kila siku, ikijumuisha kukodisha helikopta, na kufikisha bajeti ya mwaka hadi Sh873 milioni kabla ya idhini ya Bunge la Kitaifa. Hii inatokana na bajeti ya awali ya Sh523 milioni. Mbunge Rosa Buyu ameikosoa ombi hilo kuwa linapingana na wito wa Rais William Ruto wa kupunguza matumizi ya serikali.

Afisi ya Naibu Rais Profesa Kithure Kindiki imewasilisha stakabadhi kwa Bunge la Kitaifa ili kupata Sh350 milioni zaidi kwa ajili ya shughuli zake za kila siku mwaka wa kifedha unaokamilika Juni. Bajeti ya awali ilikuwa Sh523 milioni, na ombi hili litafikisha jumla Sh873 milioni. Fedha hizo zitatumika kwa gharama kama chakula, burudani na kukodisha helikopta, kulingana na taarifa za afisi hiyo. Stakabadhi hii imetokea wakati serikali inakabiliwa na shinikizo la kupunguza matumizi ya umma. Mbunge wa Kisumu Magharibi Rosa Buyu alishutumu ombi hilo, akisema linaenda kinyume na wito wa Rais William Ruto wa kubana matumizi ya serikali. Buyu alisema mgao huu mkubwa wa afisi ya naibu rais unapingana na juhudi za kupunguza gharama za umma. Hakuna maelezo ya ziada kutoka afisi ya Kindiki kuhusu sababu maalum za ongezeko hili. Bunge la Kitaifa litahakiki na kuamua kuhusu ombi kabla ya kukamilika kwa mwaka wa kifedha.
