Description

Mars Group Kenya wonders if the Minister for Finance knows what is in the estimates he has asked
Parliament to approve. We hazard a guess… Reading a budget speech is not the same as understanding what the speech or estimates contain. Members of
Parliament are in recess until July 21st 2009. Ideally MPs would spend their
recess talking to constituents and studying the estimates in order to be
informed when it comes to the appropriation stage of debate of the budget during
which each department/Ministry’s budget is deliberated upon.

It is important that MPs and their constituents understand what is in the
budget. It is important that you understand what is in the Budget.

Mars Group Kenya has devised a
quiz which may help Kenyans know the details of the National Budget – take it and
test whether you could be the next Minister of Finance!
