KIBAKI MISSES THE BUDGET SPEECH

President Kibaki left the country to attend the opening ceremony of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and missed the Budget Speech.

It was the first time in Kenyan history that a sitting president missed the presentation of the Budget in Parliament.

The President left minutes after chairing a special Cabinet meeting at State House, Nairobi Thursday where Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta briefed the Cabinet on some of the key highlights of his speech.

Mr Kenyatta read a Sh997 billion Budget, the largest in Kenya's history, in Parliament later Thursday.
