    "content": "people will improve. This can be done but the Government is reluctant to do it because even the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation require funding in the first place. The officers who work in the Treasury have no idea how Kenya looks like. At least, I know some of them. They do not even know this country because they have never travelled outside Nairobi. Therefore, when they allocate money, they do so based on what they see from where they come from. Due to the fact that the Treasury is not balanced in terms of national outlook, it is very difficult for people to access funding. By the time the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance brings the Budget to this House, the House has no strong possibility to review it. In most cases, it is passed like that. Therefore, I would like to appeal to our friends who allocate these resources from the taxes Kenyans pay to be sensitive to the nature of the country they serve so that this country can get the development that we all aspire for."
