    "content": "There is money that we proposed for cuts. I wish the Members can listen keenly to this. We rationalised the Budget both horizontally and vertically. We did this across all levels of Government because the national Government will lose money, but also counties, through the equitable share, will lose Ksh20 billion through this process. Even in the national Government, everyone rationalised their expenditure appetite across all the arms of Government. Both the Executive and the Judiciary lost money. Parliament will also lose Ksh3.7 billion. I thank all the Members of Parliament for supporting these austerity measures. Parliament has volunteered cuts in foreign and domestic travel for the sake of our economy. However, even as we cut the budgets, there are some areas that I want to highlight that we could not permit cuts. Even when we have austerity measures, there are some things that we deemed too important for our economy now and they could not wait."
