The National Assembly Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committee has retreated to consider submissions on Revenue and Expenditure Estimates from Ministries, Departments and Agency's under its oversight purview.

The Committee Chaired by Hon. Nelson Koech oversees the Ministry of Defence, that of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs and the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

Trade, Industry & Cooperatives Committee engaged its Ministries, Departments, and Agencies last week on the proposed Expenditure Estimates for Financial Year 2023/24.

The Committee led by the Chairperson Hon. James Gakuyu sought information on whether the MDAs intend to complete existing projects before embarking on new ones as well as the possibility of the SAGAs under the Ministries collecting more Appropriations-in- Aid (A in A) to reduce the burden on the Exchequer.
