    "content": "Committee (BAC) recommended that we allocate Ksh250 billion this year. If we perform better in terms of revenue allocations next year, we can do another Ksh300 to Ksh400 billion. By the third year of this administration, we should have cleared all those pending bills and contracts that have already been committed to and embark on new projects. Allow me to inform the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party that there are no new road projects. We are committed to completing those that were committed contractually by the last regime. If you look at the education sector and Members will remember, when we began this Session in January, our children had just opened school and there was a crisis in the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). The capitation of JSS was a big problem. In this Appropriations Bill, we are appropriating a whooping Ksh630 billion to the education sector to ensure that we actualise the CBC and committing resources to the system. It is not just JSS, but even capitation of our day secondary schools and our boarding schools. It is to ensure resources get to our free primary school sector. There is money that has been appropriated to the social services sector. You have seen that in the Press recently, as much as our media houses have a quarrel to pick with us. Therefore, they will go to great lengths to demonise what is being done or what is supposed to be done. They will eloquently carry out investigative series on how many octogenarians have not received their cash transfer schemes. However, I have never seen them cover when they are receiving that money. I want to tell them that we are appropriating adequate resources to ensure that our elderly and vulnerable in society are able to access their money, including orphans and people with disabilities in our communities that access money from the Government. We have allocated adequate resources within the social services sector to ensure that all those people access the money."
