The guys who forward these budget votes in the ministries, departments, parastatals, commissions are the real state capturers and will never cut their spending.

It is a culture passed over decades from colonial times, some retire some like Kinyua are still around. New ones just find the template and use excel to increase the amounts by a certain percentage every year.

Everyone in the eating train is taken care to ensure they do not make transformative decisions/action without hurting themselves and friends.
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one ~ Thomas Paine

EASY. Cut 30% going to each dept to start and they will do the same downstream.
