    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Budget Policy Statement has provided a very comprehensive road map. It is rightly titled “Providing Economic Transformation for Shared Prosperity in Kenya”, but in order for “shared prosperity” to happen, the Government needs to be very clear in terms of what it is prioritising, how it is prioritising it and how that relates with the best interest of the public. I want to agree with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in terms of the projected emphasis placed on infrastructure spending and the attention paid to the extractive industry. I particularly want to emphasise this because this country is getting into a potentially golden era in terms of the extractive industry, but one that we want to handle with a lot of caution, especially learning from experiences of countries where rather than the extractive industry becoming a blessing, it has ended up being a major source of suffering. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to focus my attention on the question of the public wage bill."
