Ruto bets on housing, roads in Sh4.8trn election budget

The Treasury's proposed budget for the year ending June 2027 outlines expenditures of Sh4.82 trillion, focusing on infrastructure and housing. The roads sector will receive Sh176.9 billion, while housing will benefit from Sh138.3 billion, with Sh118.1 billion allocated for housing development. This strategy aims to calm voters ahead of the 2027 General Election, following violent protests in 2024.
