Patrick Amoth: As we speak, the patient (city hawker who was shot) is in theatre with the neurosurgical team. As a precaution, we have prepared an ICU bed because a case of such nature requires ICU support immediately in the post-surgery period. #KTNPrime

Yes. But let's also add the other reasons (1) Primary fiscal balance was a wide deficit in 2024 but now forecast to post a surplus in 2025. (2) Public debt metrics look better due to fiscal consolidation (2) Inflation was sticky at 23% in 2024 but now forecast to decline in 2025

I poured 5 years into a football youth prgm in Nrb. These twins (yellow jersey & blue denim) grew up next to my place were part of it. Then a local MCA shut us out of a public training ground. Lost the kids. The streets got them. This is what happens when politics kills dreams

First, it's important to flag the fact that Supplementary Budget III 2024/25 has been tabled before the House. Β· Given that we have only 12 days to the close of 2024/25, you get a sense of what tabling a Supplementary Budget at this time of the financial year says about the

No problem Sir, I shall do the needful (the rarest of occasions I pick up the bill from our wagers😎) Once we sight the Supp III docs, definitely the borrowing figures and the fiscal framework will change from the figures given last week
