"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. In discussing the Budget, I would like to take us back to 1965 when we had Sessional Paper No.10 after Independence. In that Sessional Paper, it was agreed that rather than trying to develop all parts of the country in unison, we would develop the areas that had greater potential. Later on, the other parts of the country would be developed with the benefits that accrued from those greater potential areas. That has been the undoing of this country. The areas that were considered as the greater potential areas, like central Kenya, were developed with the sweat and burden of the rest of the country. However, since 1965, there has been no time in the history of this country when Kenyans came back together and said it is now time to look at the other areas that had not been given the privilege in 1965. That is why we have a discrepancy in terms of development in this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only.
