MPs clash over State House, DP and NIS budgets in supplementary estimates debate

Tensions ran high in the National Assembly during debate on the Second Supplementary Budget Estimates for the 2025/26 financial year, as Members of Parliament clashed over billions of shillings allocated to State House, the Office of the Deputy President, and the National Intelligence Service (NIS). Those opposed questioned how the funds are expected to be spent within the remaining 12 days before the end of the financial year, amid claims that the allocations could be used for political purposes.
