Parliamentary Committee on Budgetary Allocation and Appropriation will factor in the cost of conducting the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) referendum.
The committee said the year’s budget will focus on reduction of the soaring public debt and deficit.
National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya yesterday expressed his confidence that BBI will sail through and said the referendum will be factored in the budget of the 2021/22 Financial Year.
Kimunya said the referendum will either be funded upfront or through a rationalised process.
