    "content": "Mr. Kenyatta and his team have done a delicate balancing act in terms of spurring the growth of the economy, but I have two fundamental questions to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance; how realistic are his revenue projections? In the next one year, I want to see the realistic aspect of his revenue projections. My biggest worry and the worry of many private sector business people in this country is the long term effect of the Government local borrowing of close to Kshs109 billion. We know the effect of local borrowing. We are talking of inflation and other effects. We must invest in key sectors. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance did not give enough resources to the Ministry of Livestock Development. If you look at the dairy sector, this country produces about 4 billion litres of milk yearly. If you translate that into the price of one litre, it translates to about Kshs160 billion annually. We are shouting, crying and talking about the tourism sector which gives this country about Kshs60 billion. We are talking of Vision 2030 and investment in the livestock sector in this country which controls about 70 per cent of the people in Kenya, living in disease-free zones. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance did not show any allocation for that."
