    "content": "that in Uganda, they spend 5.2 per cent of their GDP on education. In Uganda, you will realize that the pupil teacher ratio is 57:1 but in Kenya we have classrooms of 60 or 70 pupils. It is important that we are clear what value we are getting for the money that we give to the education sector. That needs to be itemized from primary, secondary and all the way to the university. Last but not least, I want to commend the Minister because Central Bank has done a very good job. Looking at the interest rates, we are seeing very well contained interest rates. I think that is commendable. On the issue of borrowing, I have seen that the Minister has focused on reduction in domestic borrowing. I think this is very commendable. I also want to commend the Minister because there is an increased allocation to the Development Vote. I think that means that this country is on the path of growth. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to commend the Minister because he has secured the stimulus programme here in his Budget Policy Statement. This is very important to the nation because ahead of our anticipated Constitution, we are still able to ensure that Government resources reach each and every corner of this nation. What is most important is for this House to look at the areas through which these stimulus programmes are going to penetrate the counties. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
