    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take a very short time because I can see the level of interest is high and we do not have much time. I just want to say that once again, let me congratulate the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. For well-deserved and well-earned congratulations, give him a pat on the back. For once, everybody in this House agrees that this is the best Budget this country has ever had. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance said that it was a pro- poor Budget but I would add that it was a pro-equity Budget. The question being raised by the ordinary wananchi is whether this will actually happen. It has happened on paper. It is a pro-equity and pro-poor Budget on paper but will it be the same when it comes to implementation? I want to assure the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that we will go a long way in supporting him to the last point as long as the implementation of this Budget happens as he presented it in this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Budget has addressed what many Kenyans have been fighting for. It carries the fears and the aspirations of many Kenyans. Kenyans were forced to butcher one another because of inequity in development. There has been skewed resource allocation in this country where some parts of the country are developed while others are forgotten. The Budget has addressed equity regionally and the social classes in the society. For the first time, every constituency is assured of having a centre of excellence for a budgeted allocation of Kshs30 million; Kshs20 million for health, some Kshs3.5 million for Jua Kali sheds and many other things."
