I am not convinced that the Budget of Kshs800 billion will be raised the way the Minister said. However, I am sure that he will raise Kshs109 billion through internal borrowing. I am not very sure he will raise the rest of the money in the manner he has described. There is this thing we keep calling âdevelopment partnersâ.
