We also considered the fact that some parts of the country have higher connectivity and allocated them their fair share according to how far their connectivity is."

"content": "For the least connected areas in the country, this is the most equitable and fair Budget. If your area has less than 60 per cent connectivity, this Budget will give you a chance to improve. Areas with 90 per cent and above connectivity are going to manage and maintain. We should also realise that Kenya’s biggest problem is not resource allocation. It is infrastructure maintenance. Every government allocates resources. If you visit schools that were built 10 years ago, you will find many are more vandalised. We want to remind Kenyans that the money comes from their own pockets. Head teachers should ensure that school utilities are better preserved. We are not going to allocate money all the time to build every day. We should build to last. The same applies to road and electricity connectivity. People vandalise them all the time because they think there is free money. It is not free money; it comes from the people."

We have allocated Ksh2 billion to recruit KDF servicemen and women. This Budget is going to be impactful to all parts of the country. So, under the chairmanship of Hon. Atandi, we are going to make a difference from the 2025/2026 Financial Year. I ask Kenyans to look at the expenditure side more, and not only the Finance Bill, and where we are putting money. Let us all interact positively to make this country better. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": "Financial Year 2025/2026. I must congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a work well done. The Committee, under the chairmanship of Hon. Sam Atandi, who is also my jirani, has done well. They have devoted most of their time to consider development. The development budget is well spread this time and many areas are covered. I am specifically happy because one of the roads that has been worrying us and which cuts across the four constituencies in Busia has been allocated some money in the Budget. That is very useful to the people of Busia."

"content": "On the security side, the Committee has provided funds for the recruitment of more police officers. Security is becoming a problem in this country. The more police officers we have, the better. In fact, very many areas now have security problems because of lack of personnel. So, the 10,000 additional police officers will help this country greatly. They Committee has also considered the operationalisation of gazetted chiefs’ and assistant chiefs’ offices. If you recall, we previously held a long debate in this House with the Cabinet Secretary for Administration and Internal Security regarding the operationalisation of new administrative locations. That matter should now be concluded. I have also observed, through the budget estimates, that there is adequate funding for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVETs). Those institutions will be the backbone of our country's development, critical for creating employment and providing relevant training for our youth. However, I have not seen an allocation for machinery and equipment in TVETs. I hope this will be considered in the subsequent stages. This Budget has laid the groundwork for future equality. In the past, budget allocations did not reach certain corners of this country. However, this time around, the estimates have touched almost every region. I believe this will help many areas across the country. I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee, most sincerely, for the work they have done. I hope we will gain more from these budget estimates. Something has particularly been done for education, although not much. I am a bit worried about the reduction in funding for the primary education. As primary schools continue to expand, any budget reduction will certainly affect them. I support these budget estimates, and hope that they will be useful to the country."
