    "content": "I have noted that in the Budget Estimates, there is an increment in the NG-CDF allocation of probably from Ksh18 million to Ksh22 million per constituency. In my case in Suba South Constituency where we give each student Ksh10,000, that increment will mean an additional resource for 1,800 students. I have noted that there is an increase in the allocation for the education sector and a reduction on tax on rental income from 10 per cent to 7.5 per cent. However, most importantly, I have noted the reduction of the budget deficit by about Ksh400 billion. That means there is generally a reduction on debt appetite. On the issue of the Housing Levy, let me put it on record that it is one of those areas where the public collective is more important than the individual collective. There are many areas where the public has to generally pull together to realise what is called “public good” such as medical insurance and housing schemes. The housing scheme is a very good idea that I would like to support. I want to put it on record that it was part of our agenda as ODM for a very long time from 2007."
