While politics plays its part, I got stuck on this paragraph:
```
"She says that Mr Ng’eno, who introduced himself as an emissary of the President, expressly assured her that funding for the project would come from the confidential vote administered by the National Treasury. Earlier, she says, Mr Ng’eno had on November 22, 2023, arranged a meeting between her and Mr Jayesh, whom Mr Ng’eno, she says, had previously described as “the regime’s financier and oligarch”. At this first meeting, Ms Wachuka claims Mr Jayesh confirmed this role himself and spoke at length about the administration’s difficulties with information control and digital communication."
```

So the president usually has a "confidential vote head" that is managed by the Treasury? And this is besides the State House budget??

A recent court case has revealed significant infighting among State House aides in Kenya, exposing a disorganized communication strategy within President William Ruto's administration. The legal filings detail internal disputes and a chaotic approach to managing propaganda and official messaging, highlighting tensions and a lack of coordination among top presidential advisers. The fallout was over the procurement of a digital propaganda spying surveillance software. https://nation.africa/kenya/news/propaganda-system-court-case-exposes-infighting-among-state-house-aides-5051832#story
