In a jaw-dropping twist revealed in the latest 2024/2025 budget estimates, President William Ruto’s inner circle is set to rake in eye-watering sums — while close to a billion shillings will be poured into State House facelifts across the country.
According to shocking revelations from the National Treasury, David Ndii’s Council of Economic Advisors alone has been allocated a staggering Ksh92.7 million, while Monica Juma’s National Security Advisory Office will walk away with a cool Ksh49.1 million.
But that’s not all — the Office of Economic Transformation is set to claim the highest chunk among them, with a massive Ksh98.5 million.
Other eyebrow-raising allocations include:
- Ksh45.4 million for the Office of the Women’s Rights Advisor
- Ksh15.1 million for the Climate Change Advisory team
- Ksh16.9 million for State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed’s office
Yet what’s sending shockwaves through the nation is the mind-boggling Ksh894.9 million earmarked for State House renovations and maintenance — sparking outrage among citizens struggling with rising living costs and a battered economy.

The Nairobi State House will gulp down a whopping Ksh680.7 million, while other locations like:
- Eldoret get Ksh60.15 million
- Mombasa grabs Ksh42.5 million
- Nakuru receives Ksh25 million
- Kisumu and Kakamega get Ksh24 million and Ksh25 million respectively
- Even Kisii and Sagana aren’t left out, with allocations of Ksh12.5 million and Ksh15 million
This bombshell report has ignited fury online, with critics slamming the government for prioritizing luxury over livelihood in the midst of economic hardship.
Is this elite enrichment or justified expenditure?
Kenyans demand answers — as the country watches where every coin will go.
