    "content": "Another annoying thing which I think every Kenyan should be concerned about is where we are being requested as a House to reduce the Development Vote by about Kshs.44 billion - but I am not sure whether that is the amount. We are saying we want this country to develop and, therefore, we are getting direct funding from our development partners, but there are challenges. That is another indicator of the fact that we are not doing preliminary requirements correctly. If we analyze the process and know we are getting money from a particular development partner, we need to state and say this is what it takes to get this money. That being the situation, then we must analyze and provide timelines so that if the 12 months which are in the Budget are not enough to take care of the preliminaries, then we push that entry to the next financial year. To me, this Kshs44 billion would have been comfortably captured in the current 2016/2017 Budget for purposes of implementation. However, we are being requested to reduce that amount so that we can get the right Budget."
