    "content": "the teachers who belong to KNUT. Kshs.6.5 billion is for building new technical training institutions and Kshs. 55 billion is for university education. This is a Government that believes in up-scaling and improving the human resource per capita of its citizens. On the health sector, this Government introduced free maternal health care and today 67 per cent of the Kenyan mothers deliver in health centers across the country compared to 47 per cent before. It is not hon. Duale saying this; there are statistics that can be confirmed by independent bodies. Kshs.4 billion is for free access to maternal health care; Kshs.3 billion is for financing the lease of health equipment. Kshs.8.4 billion was given to Kenyatta National Hospital, a serious and important referral hospital. Finally as a country, we cannot grow our economy when we have not dealt with the poverty index in our country. What has the Government of Uhuru Kenyatta and that of Jubilee done, which I have privilege to serve? Equity, poverty reduction and social protection is something which the governments of the late President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and those of the other two successful presidents did not achieve. We have moved from Kshs.27 to Kshs.33 billion for CDF and provided Kshs.2 billion for affirmative action, Kshs.7 billion for our orphans and vulnerable children and Kshs.4 billion for the elderly. Where do we get this money from? On the Floor of the House, I want to thank the Kenya Revenue Authority, under the able leadership of Mr. Njiraini, because for the first time in the history of our country 90 per cent of our Budget is funded by revenue collected locally. Even from the VAT, which we have passed here, we are getting an extra Kshs.10 billion. Where do we take it?"
