The country is in an economic crisis; this year, for every 100 shillings the government collects as
revenue, more than 65 shillings goes to service the national debt. More devastating, the first three
quarters the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) in the revenue collection for the 2022/2023 Financial
Year have been below target. Out of the targeted Ksh 2.07 trillion for the current fiscal year, Ksh 1.57
trillion has been collected. Almost 25% below the target amount. The above financial predicament
notwithstanding, the government, through the National Treasury, has put together an expansionary
national budget for the 2023/2024 financial year totalling Ksh 3.6 trillion with a projected deficit of
Ksh 768 billion in the 2023/2024 financial year.
We, Civil Society Organisations, under the banner of the National Integrity Alliance (NIA), express our
strong objection to the recent nomination by President William Ruto, of Mr Noordin Haji, the
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to head the National Intelligence Service (NIS) because of Mr
Haji’s compromised track record and failure to fulfil his constitutional obligations while serving as the
DPP.
