    "content": "Most importantly, in this day and age, why can’t we work smart as a country? There are very many investors who can invest in capital projects. We are spending Kshs146 billion which is 10 per cent of our Budget on rail transport. In this day and age, can these things not be done under Private Public Partnership (PPP)? Can we not release more of this money for purposes of social services, healthcare and education, hiring of teachers and the police? These are things which we cannot do under the PPP. Even transport? Surely! If the Standard Gauge Railway will cost Kshs327 billion, will we pay for it in two or three years? Why can we not work smart and achieve more results from the limited resources that we have? These are some of the things that we need to review. If Parliament was given more time to look at these things, we would inject much more strategy in budgeting and that would allow this country to achieve much more within every financial year from the little resources that we have."
