Fallout in Kenyan state house over procurement if digital propaganda spying surveillance software

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??
