    "content": "Hon. Speaker, women participation in key sectors of our economy is critical. For this reason, the Government will sustain increased incomes for women through employment creation and supporting women-led enterprises. Further, we will strengthen women participation in decision-making in our governance and political institutions as well as reduce sexual and gender-based violence, and provision of affordable health services. To further empower our women, I propose to the National Assembly to effect a budget allocation of Ksh245 million to strengthen prevention and response to gender-based violence in Kenya. I propose an allocation of Ksh3 billion to the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). To promote global equity, reduce poverty, and embrace social development, I propose to the National Assembly to effect budget allocations of Ksh53.5 billion to the National Government Constituencies Fund (NG-CDF) as well as Ksh10.9 billion to the Equalisation Fund to finance programmes in previously marginalised areas."
