Ruto, Raila parties in stalemate over budget committee
The reconstitution of a critical parliamentary committee remains stalled, threatening the processing of the 2025 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and the Supplementary Budget II for the Financial Year 2024-2025. The delay stems from a political impasse between President William Ruto and Raila Odinga’s parties, which has prevented the formation of the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC), a key organ in handling the budget process within set timelines.
