    "content": "Why am I giving all these details? This House has a choice to make. We passed the Estimates of the coming financial year. What do we want to achieve so that we can contextualise and put on the same platform the amount of money we need? Whatever I have enumerated on the revenue and expenditure sides, balances. Therefore, any variation on the revenue side has to have a corresponding effect on the expenditure side. Out of the Ksh3.679 trillion, we are spending the same revenue we are collecting through the finance side. The Ksh630 billion is going to the education of the Kenyan children. Through this Budget, and of course being supplied by the resources from the Finance Bill, we have been able to add an extra Ksh10 billion to those who are in Junior Secondary Schools to capitalise the students. Through the same revenue that we are collecting, we have been able to double our Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) allocation from this year’s Kshs15 billion to Kshs30 billion. We have also added Kshs10 billion to the NG-CDF. Every constituency will be receiving between Ksh25 million to Ksh45 million depending on the formula in the next financial year. We have doubled the amount of money we give the Public Service Commission in terms of hiring interns. Next year, we are going to hire 8,000 interns instead of the 4,000 that we hired this financial year."
