Because of the sensitivity of the docket and the issues, it oversees related to the day-to-day operations of the country, the PS in charge is said to have a cash safe with between Sh20 million and Sh30 million that must be replenished on a weekly basis.
This money is to be used at the discretion of the PS in the carrying out of his duties.
