    "content": "The other issue that I want to thank the Committee for is the public hearings. I was with my brother, Hon. Onyonka in Kisumu and the public hearings were very effective. People at the counties gave their views and what they thought. I want to thank the Committee for having considered a great portion of what the public gave in terms of their input towards the national Budget. There is also the issue of semi-autonomy. I want to thank the Committee for having requested that the semi-autonomous institutions must also show that they can generate – not only to receive money from the Government – or indicate that they are also capable of generating some income for the purposes of meeting some of their expenses. Of course, the meeting with the governors as it has been indicated by the Committee was very fruitful. I want to thank the Committee for taking time to try and explain to the governors the reasons for coming up with that figure. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Committee through their Chair because they were able to save over Kshs15 billion. They have reallocated the monies to various departments which will go towards the implementation of the Jubilee Manifesto, especially the Kshs3 billion which has been given to industrialization to create jobs at the county level. This was a very noble idea. This money is going towards increasing job opportunities that the Jubilee has already indicated."
