    "content": " I thank my party leader, the man who mentored me, the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, for bringing this country together. With this togetherness and objectivity, we can now see that the entire country belongs to all of us. Areas that were categorised as high production were the ones which used to be budgeted for during those years. The fact of the matter is that each county, region and section of our population has something to contribute to the national table. We want a country that moves in unison in development and togetherness. Let me emphasise one thing only. I am very happy that we have funded the Judiciary and institutions that fight corruption very well. Sometimes, we lose up to Ksh1trillion through corruption. So, we need to empower those agencies to fight corruption and control pilferage. We now have allocated enough money to the EACC, Office of the Auditor-General and Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). I request Members to approve this Budget. Lastly, I support the Committee for proposing an increment to monies going to the KRA. We will not be doing much, if we do not capacitate the agency in charge of revenue raising measures. I want to request the Budget and Appropriations Committee that we want a situation where the money allocated to KRA is between 1.5 per cent and 2 per cent of national collection, so that they build their capacity and integrate technology in revenue raising measures. Then, we will collect more so that the whole country can be developed in equity. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
