The National Assembly’s Budget Committee is calling for the realisation of revenue targets if the government is to fully fund the forthcoming budget.
In its review of the Budget and Appropriations for the 2026/2027 financial year, the committee notes that any shortfall in revenue collection would result in a larger-than-projected fiscal deficit.
The committee has also warned the National Treasury against introducing additional tax cuts, arguing that such measures could increase fiscal pressure.
As Jimmy Mbogo reports, the committee is also forecasting a slowdown in development expenditure if revenue performance falls below expectations.
