The National Assembly leadership is waiting for the IEBC to pronounce itself on the much-awaited referendum, before budgeting is done. National Assembly Majority leader Amos Kimunya has said they will only budget for the referendum after the actual dates are issued by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. “On the issue of the expected referendum, first of all, we need to know the dates. In October last year, the electoral commission said it would need at least Sh14 billion to conduct the referendum. National Assembly's Committee on Budget and Appropriations chair Kanini Kega said the Mombasa meeting brought together all actors critical in budget making.
