    "content": "There is something that is always ignored with regard to the borrowing of this country; the cost of service delivery. Some of these monies that we are borrowing are not based on realistic projections of the cost of a project. If you look at the cost of doing an election in this country, it is the highest in this region. A by-election will cost about Kshs300 million which is not at par with any of our regional countries. If you look, for example, at the cost of constructing roads, again it is very high. So, even when we look at the projected growth and the debt, clearly in my opinion, we would do much more in terms of having savings within the economy and the monies that we are raising from our taxes and, of course, non-tax revenue."
