    "content": "more importantly, the need to reduce Government expenditure and wastage of resources across the national and county governments. I am aware of these domestic challenges facing Kenyans and the external factors, such as geopolitical tensions and shifting global trade dynamics, which lead to the escalation of the cost of essential commodities in the country, requiring comprehensive responses by the Government. The social unrest precipitated by the Finance Bill of 2024 brought to the fore the importance of values and principles of governance as enshrined in our Constitution. In response and to win public trust, we have strengthened public participation in all policy formulation, including budget budget-making process. I have actively engaged Kenyans in various social forums in an effort to promote inclusive dialogue on the challenges facing our economy."
