    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see that this has shut up the critics. As I said in this House, there appears to be a sustained campaign to show that hon. Uhuru Kenyatta was not competent. I do not know what will be done next. You can see that even the Mars Group which calculated the previous Supplementary Budget line by line using a lot of time and many people had nothing to say on the Budget. I tried to add up the figures in the Supplementary Estimates and found that it would have taken more than six months to do so. The only thing that the Mars Group criticised on this Budget is the creation of the fund to be administered by the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). This shows that this is a good Budget. Even their criticism of the creation of the special fund for KAA is not tenable. It is not the first parastatal that has been given authority to collect revenue on behalf of the Government. We have the Catering Levy Trustees Fund (CLTF) which collects money from hotels. Therefore, this is nothing new at all. We also have other parastatals that are authorised to collect funds such as the Sugar Development Levy (SDL) which collects money from sugar companies. So, this, to me, is not a genuine criticism. In fact, it only shows that this was a wonderful Budget."
