Attorney General Justin Muturi's tough task to raise sh160 million from Marriages

On the revenue collection front, the Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice aims to collect a substantial amount of Sh160.5 million. This includes revenue from the registration of societies, marriages, and coats of arms, amounting to Sh100 million, as well as the finalisation of trusts and estates of the deceased, which accounts for Sh60.5 million.

In a significant move to promote inclusivity, the 2023/2024 AG budget sets aside a minimum of 30 per cent of the procurement budget, about Sh205 million, for youth, women, and persons with disabilities.

Additionally, two per cent of this reserved budget will be exclusively allocated to people with disabilities.

The budget also emphasises the procurement of locally produced goods and services, with a minimum of 40 per cent of the procurement budget dedicated to such purchases. Quarterly reports will be submitted to the Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade, and Enterprise Development to ensure compliance with this directive.

To support the youth and their skill development, the Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice plan to provide internship, industrial attachment, and apprenticeship opportunities to at least five per cent of their total in-post staff strength, which stands at 1,156.

In terms of infrastructure development, the AG's office has allocated Sh15.5 million for the installation of two lifts at Sheria House, aimed at enhancing accessibility and efficiency within the building. Moreover, the FY 2023/2024 budget prioritises the adoption of ICT solutions and digital technologies to improve service delivery and efficiency.

The Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice also aims to contribute to environmental sustainability and combat climate change. Muturi will be tasked with increasing forest and tree cover from 12 per cent to 30 per cent by 2032.
