Addressing journalists at State House, spokesman Manoah Esipisu said the estimates are in line with the government’s development agenda. “Opposition politicians have been mouthing criticism of the budget estimates approved by Cabinet a few days ago. State House finds their arguments very much without merit.”Last Thursday, the Cabinet approved the estimates, which included Sh100 billion for increase of civil servants’ salaries. State House also announced that Slovak President Andrej Kiska will be in Kenya today for a three-day visit. President Uhuru Kenyatta and Kiska will lead their delegations in bilateral talks at State House.
