The Kenyan government now seeks to use traditional transport methods to reduce expenditure amidst soaring fuel costs, currently totaling Sh 14.3 billion.

In its 2024 draft policy, the government is exploring the viability of increasing donkeys, camels, electric vehicles, and horses into its fleet as part of an austerity measure to cut costs.

The Treasury’s policy, designed to lower public spending, comes as the national budget stands at Sh 182.7 billion as of July 2024.
