"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. In discussing the Budget, I would like to take us back to 1965 when we had Sessional Paper No.10 after Independence. In that Sessional Paper, it was agreed that rather than trying to develop all parts of the country in unison, we would develop the areas that had greater potential. Later on, the other parts of the country would be developed with the benefits that accrued from those greater potential areas. That has been the undoing of this country. The areas that were considered as the greater potential areas, like central Kenya, were developed with the sweat and burden of the rest of the country. However, since 1965, there has been no time in the history of this country when Kenyans came back together and said it is now time to look at the other areas that had not been given the privilege in 1965. That is why we have a discrepancy in terms of development in this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "The major point we are discussing in this Budget is inclusivity. This Budget has tried to treat Kenyans equally regardless of what part of the country one comes from. Areas that were previously ignored have been allocated something in this Budget. I dare say that Kenyans are not against paying taxes. However, they are against paying taxes and not see any benefits. Today, I am happy to see that for the first time, Ksh110 million has been set aside to purchase a ferry for Lake Victoria. This will enhance water transport, ignite business and grow the economy for the people around the Lake. I see that there is money allocated for the sugar industry. More often than not, a lot of money was being pumped into coffee and tea, while disregarding other crops that are beneficial to other counties. Looking at this Budget, a lot of money has also been set aside for mitigation of drought in the North Eastern part of this country. This is really positive. Nobody chooses to be in an area that is affected by drought. I want to congratulate Hon. Atandi for being a Kenyan and not just a man from Nyanza. He opened his eyes and mind and looked at all Kenyans. I would also like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, Mhe. John Mbadi, whom together with Hon. Atandi, opened up their minds so as to bring Kenyans together. I also want to talk about Universal Health Coverage (UHC). We know that some people in this country have been offering voluntary services to ensure that health is enjoyed by everybody, even the lowest person in this country. They have been doing this free of charge without pay. Today, when you look at this Budget, there is money that has been put aside for UHC. Community healthcare workers will now be compensated for the services they offer. This is great. When you have a healthy country, you will develop much better. Also, agriculture has been allocated money because that sector affects the common"

"content": ". I am sure that in a few years, Kenyans will be smiling because all the sectors have been looked into. With that, I support these Budget Estimates. I am also happy that places like Nyanza, which have long been forgotten when it comes to road infrastructure, have been considered in this Budget. I am very happy to see that an area like Holo Lela, yawa. That place is in the middle of nowhere in Kisumu West Constituency. I can see in this Budget Ksh200 million has been put aside to construct a road there. If this is what the broad-based Government is doing, it is what Kenyans need. I urge every Kenyan who might still have a bit of suspicion against the broad-based Government that it is a Government of inclusivity, equity and affirmative action for areas that have long been left behind. With that, I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support."
