    "content": "workers. They estimated that the airtime they gave to the Ministry of Education was up to about Kshs512 million. As the amendments come in, I think the State Department will try to seek authority from the House so that the said amounts can be deducted directly from the respective ministries and then be sent to the Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) themselves. We also realised during the course of the budget process and interaction with the ministries that some of the targets, including some of those state-owned enterprises, are not realistic. For example, with regard to the KBC, we realised that within their targets, they only had the number of bulletins they have produced and the amount of airtime they have spent. However, the real thing that they need to commercialise, which is viewership, was not captured as a target. We challenged them to include that. Within this particular Ministry, there are only two new projects. One of them is the Horn of Africa Gateway Development Project which will enable broadband connectivity along the Northern Corridor. There is another connectivity project which was signed by the President when he travelled to Djibouti. However, there was no funding that was provided in this particular Budget. Proceeding to the general Budget, we must appreciate that it was done within the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic. I can see my time is over, but you will give me a few more minutes because of the interruption when they were trying to put off the bomb that was behind me."
