Former President Mwai Kibaki and his predecessor Daniel Moi will be deprived of Sh6 Million in budgetary allocations meant to cater for renovation of their respective offices in Nairobi.
The supplementary budget tabled in parliament on Tuesday, indicated that the National Treasury had sought to reduce Mr Moi’s refurbishment budget from Sh5 Million to Sh3 Million, while that of Mr Kibaki was reduced to Sh1 Million from Sh5 Million.
The government was expected to spend Sh10 Million repairing Kibaki and Moi's offices on top of the Sh20 Million already spent last year, but the amount was scaled down to Sh4 Million.
Despite the slight reduction, in the current financial year the taxpayer has spent nearly Sh250 Million to keep the former presidents happy in their retirement.
The amount finances their pension perks, utilities as well as catering for their state-provided staff.
The Ex-Presidents are entitled to an office, staff and a full secretariat to manage their post-retirement programmes.
Mr Kibaki’s office block is situated at Nyari Estate in Nairobi, while Mr Moi has an office at Kabarnet Gardens off Ngong Road.
In addition to the State-financed Sh500 Million house he received after retirement, Kibaki's other entitlements are a monthly pension of Sh560,000, entertainment allowance of Sh280,000, fuel allowance of Sh195,000 and a house allowance of Sh299,000.
The former president also enjoys an annual in-patient medical cover of up to Sh21.2 Million.
Retired presidents are also entitled to two new cars replaceable every three years, two personal assistants, four secretaries, four messengers, four drivers and bodyguards.
