    "content": "Cabinet Secretary submitted all the necessary information and documents to the National Assembly and the Budget and Appropriations Committee so as to initiate the public participation process. The Budget and Appropriations Committee has submitted its report to this House. In this Budget, the expenditure was financed through carefully estimated revenue and financing assumptions that took into account the happenings in the global economy; the emerging economies in the Sub-Saharan region, in fiscal and the multi-economic indicators. Kenya’s growth prospects and macro-economic framework will enhance the private sector growth and its participation in facilitating the growth of our economy and development of our country. This framework of the Budget submitted to this august House, for the national Government, county governments, the Parliamentary Service Commission and the Judicial Service Commission is summarized as follows - I do not want to go into the table. If you look at the area of food security and agriculture, Kshs9.5billion has been proposed for the ongoing irrigation project countrywide and the transformation of agriculture. From subsistence farming to productive commercial farming, food security is a flagship project in the Jubilee Manifesto and is key to the agenda of President Uhuru Kenyatta. In the Kshs9.5billion, Kshs3 billion has been set aside for the farm subsidies; Kshs2.7 billion for strategic grain reserves, Kshs1billion for fisheries development - I am sure hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona, my colleague from Lamu and all the Members from fishing areas are happy. There is Kshs700 million for the revival of the Kenya Meat Commission; for us, I included, the pastoralist communities. The Kenya Meat Commission must work and that Kshs.700 million must be used prudently. If you go to transport and logistics, which are key for investments in infrastructure, very key flagship project for economic growth and vision 2030, Kshs41billion has been provided for the ongoing road construction. Kshs22.4 billion for road maintenance has been provided. I want to make it very clear, since Independence, nothern Kenya has never had tarmac road. The tarmac ends in my constituency."
