He slammed the reported Sh4.5 billion expenditure in just three months as reckless and shocking.
Mutoro explained that this equates to Sh1.5 billion per month or Sh50 million every single day.
This is taxpayers’ money being burned at a pace that no ordinary citizen can imagine, he stated.
He warned that if such spending continues unchecked, Kenya risks serious financial instability.
Mutoro questioned how this level of expenditure aligns with President Ruto’s repeated promises of fiscal discipline.
He highlighted that while ordinary Kenyans struggle with rising living costs, State House spending appears extravagant and unchecked.
“The gap between leadership excesses and citizens’ hardships is widening dangerously,” he remarked.
Mutoro urged Parliament and other oversight bodies to launch an urgent investigation into these expenditures.
He called for full transparency and accountability in all State House financial activities.
Under his leadership, COFEK plans to educate citizens on the consequences of unchecked government spending.
Mutoro emphasized the urgent need for the government to prioritize funding for essential services like health, education, and infrastructure.
He likened the lavish spending to a “shortcut to SingaPOOR,” mocking the irony of aspiring to economic success while draining public resources.
He concluded that without immediate reforms, Kenya risks a fiscal path that mirrors the warnings highlighted in The Standard’s report.
