    "content": "people of Kenya the direction that they are taking and this direction is giving us hope in the way we conduct our affairs. I also take this opportunity to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for presenting this very historic and patriotic Budget, in the sense that, it created a very conducive environment for all Kenyans to believe that they will now live in a country where there will be joy and happiness. A Budget of this nature was presented by the Late Mr. James Gichuru during the reign of the founding father of this nation. It is a Budget that recorded very minimal increases giving people room to conduct their affairs. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Budget which was presented by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance in a very good manner, if fully implemented, will change our lifestyle in this nation. We have been yearning for justice and that is to be seen in the way we are going to implement the Budget. Equity has also caused a lot of havoc in this country, but it has been provided adequate room in the way the Budget was prepared. The stigma of marginalization is also addressed in this Budget. That is something that we have not seen for the last 45 years. Ministers for Finance have come in the docket and come up with well-prepared Budgets but have never addressed the issue of justice and equity. So, if this Budget is given time and stakeholders are involved, it will create peace, stability and harmony in this nation. It will also give unity of purpose in the nation. I have taken time to listen to the local FM stations and most of them are supporting this Budget. That indicates that this Budget has really united the people of this country. That unity of purpose and direction should be maintained by the political leadership including hon. Members in order to sustain cohesion in our country."
