Kuria on Challenges Mbadi will Face
Speaking on Sunday, August 12, Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary (CS) Moses Kuria said that Mbadi will face difficult tasks including managing the government’s expenditure.
Kuria argued that the new CS will need to take drastic steps to address the issue of expenditure, especially following the collapse of the 2023 and 2024 Finance Bills.
“He must really wield the knife and cut government expenditure. He must conduct a microscopic review with boldness. He’s very stubborn, so if he decides to do the right thing, he’ll do it, and that is the right thing,” Kuria said.
However, Mbadi earlier said that he would implement various cost cutting measures including the removal of zero rating.
