    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must empower this Parliament to participate in the Budget making process whether it is macro economy, future policy, structural policy or any framework that has a bearing on the livelihood of the people of this country. This Budget Policy Statement is giving us, for the first time a linkage between the Budget and the national priorities of this country. The people of northern Kenya will put on the table their priorities. Is it water, education or livestock, which is the backbone of their economy? Secondly, this Policy links the Budget to the basic poverty reduction strategy. The people of northern Kenyan might have a specific poverty index that if the Government tackles, then poverty will be addressed. The people of Nyanza will benefit if the Government has a definite policy on the fishing sector. I am seeing that this Budget Policy Statements gives us a linkage. When Members of Parliament sit in this very important committee, members of this Committee come from diverse regions of this country. When hon. Bahari sits on this Committee and interrogates the Ministry of Finance and on the same table the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Livestock is there, I can assure you then an element of fairness will be done."
