    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to these budget estimates for the Financial Year 2025/2026. First, allow me to also congratulate you for hosting a very successful 62nd Madaraka Day celebrations. We in Bungoma, hosted the 61st Madaraka Day and thought we were the best. But the way you hosted it left us thinking we could have done even more! Secondly, I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for burning the midnight oil to produce this Report. This is the third Budget Report of this administration since it came into office and the first under the Broad-Based Government. Let me start by highlighting a few issues that are arising from this Budget. About 28 per cent of the total budget has been allocated to the education sector, which is commendable. Education remains the ultimate equaliser. We must invest seriously in it if we want to develop the human capital that is required to drive this country forward. Three things arise from this allocation. First, the budget has allocated money towards the promotion of teachers and the recruitment of more teachers. This is a commendable move by the Committee. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
