"content": "I want to say that the Budget that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance read in this House on 8th June, 2011, the figures for the Vote for the Ministry of State for Defence were less by well over Kshs6 billion. What the Government has done is to use the expertise of the Budget Committee to initiate Budget cuts in particular lines, which we made available for employment of more teachers, and take the amount of the cuts to the Vote of the Ministry of State for Defence. It had not thought about this initially. So, the question of increasing the salary of Defence Forces did not come as a surprise. If the Government really wanted to give the military a salary increment, it would have done this in the Budget Speech on 8th June, 2011."
