    "content": " Yes, Busia also, thank you, Mheshimiwa. This Ksh5 billion allocation will support blue economy projects along Lake Victoria and the Indian Ocean. We have allocated resources for the Transformative Affordable Housing programme, which aims to ensure that low-income Kenyans can afford decent housing. This is one of the major programmes of the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda(BETA). This programme is successful, as you saw last week when the President visited Mukuru kwa Njenga to launch the programme. It was beautiful. We believe that this programme needs to continue. This House has allocated about Ksh95 billion towards that. As I conclude, I would like to say that we have a Broad-Based, inclusive Government. If you go through the Budget Estimates, you will see that we have distributed programmes across the country. There is no part of the country that has been left behind. Even when you look at the infrastructure from the North Eastern region, especially in Garissa and Mandera counties, we have at least a programme in those areas. This is the promise that the President gave, and we, as proponents of the Broad-Based Government, want to say that we are living up to that promise. This Budget is the first of many that will restore hope to Kenyans and ensure they feel part of this country. I urge Members of this House to study the Report and support it. The Report is huge. It has many other programs that I am unable to highlight here in this opportunity. Let Members support this Budget proposal, which is before us, so that in the end we will be able to have a more progressive country. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you."
