Budget: Uhuru pumps billions to recover millions in graft warNational Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich when he presented the Budget estimates last week. [Boniface Okendo, Standard]President Uhuru Kenyatta’s second term in office has been characterised by his zeal and commitment to fighting graft. Haji, the DPP also said the Government has so far recovered over Sh16 billion in the ongoing corruption purge. Conservative estimates by non-state agencies state that at least a third of the national budget is embezzled. This means that this financial year, Kenyans stand to lose more that Sh1 trillion to graft lords from their Sh3 trillion budget.
