Budget and Appropriations committee chairperson Ndindi Nyoro, however, indicated that whatever happens to the Finance Bill, the government is prepared. He warned MPs on the effects of budget cuts as Teachers Service Commission (TSC) was set to hire 46,000 tutors as permanent and pensionable in the next budget. “Coffee cherry fund will be cut by Sh1 billion if there is no funding through the Finance Bill. One of the principles of good governance is responsiveness to the wishes of the people and the finance committee is responsive,” he stated. Lamu East MP Ruweida Oboo also backed the Bill, saying her region still needs resources to initiate development projects.
