    "content": "in Kenya to help build the nation. Specific details on this initiative will be worked out shortly. It has come to our attention that the Consumer Protection Act, No. 46 of 2012 is posing challenges with respect to the interpretations of its applicability to loan agreements between public entities and our development partners. In order to address this challenge, I propose to amend the Consumer Protection Act to exempt Credit Agreements between public entities and our Development Partners from the provisions of the Act. The scrutiny by this House, through the Committee on Delegated Legislation, of statutory instruments issued by the Executive and regulatory bodies is very welcome as it is meant to ensure that such instruments serve the interests of the Kenyan people. However, it is my considered view that such scrutiny should not extend to routine administrative actions such as guidelines, orders, directions, and forms. I am, therefore, proposing an amendment to the Statutory Instruments Act limiting the definition of statutory instruments to be laid before the House to include regulations, rules, by-laws and tariffs. This will relieve this House from the scrutiny of administrative issues. In conclusion hon. Speaker, this Budget demonstrates our resolve and concerted efforts to create a prosperous and inclusive country for all Kenyans. It focuses on implementing key development priorities outlined in our economic transformation agenda. The budget aims to secure the lives and property of citizens of this great country Kenya from the emerging and ever evolving insecurity facing us. This budget allocates enormous resources to the security organs for both the police and military modernization. Tourism recovery remains our key objective given its potential to create jobs and employment of our youth and women. We target to improve on efficiency and roll out systems that will enable us to save public resources so that Kenyans can get value for their money. We are firmly behind the efforts by His Excellency the President to decisively deal with corruption that benefits a few individuals instead of the country."
