    "content": "I appeared before the Budget and Appropriations Committee to present the case for these regions, but I do not know how much the Committee allocated to them. Currently, these people are not interested in coffee, maize or fertilisers. Their concern is basic needs like access to drinking water for them and their livestock. I stand here to speak for the pastoralist communities. In this Supplementary Budget, we have seen significant amounts of money allocated to the coffee and tea sectors. Growing up, I thought that tea was more of a fruit because I had not seen a tea tree before; we do not grow tea in our area. I request that when considering budget allocations, it should be balanced for the entire country to make sure that every Kenyan is catered for because we are all taxpayers. The Budget should touch all sectors of the economy in our country, including the pastoralist communities."
