President Uhuru Kenyatta’s announcement that a supplementary budget will be presented to Parliament as it resumes today to address the cost of living has been received mixed reactions from leaders. “The President has settled on fresh measures through a supplementary budget to address the situation,” Mr Esipisu said. Yesterday, Kiharu MP Irungu Kang’ata said the decision to introduce the supplementary budget is good but a long-term solution needed to be devised. “The answer should be as per proposal contained in the supplementary budget cushioning the poor against inflation,” he said. The decision to ignore the Senate will come to haunt the National Assembly,” Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jr said, today.
