There are people who go through the annual budget numbers with a fine-tooth comb, and can tell you in detail just what is good and what is bad about it. Personally, I prefer to take in the bigger picture, and the broad patterns of proposed expenditure. And on this I am glad to see that certain things have not changed at all over the past decades. I say “still” because even in the Moi era, this remained a constant. In such nations, the annual budget was usually something of a joke – so completely lacking in transparency that you could not really know how budgeted funds were spent.
