    "content": "As I conclude, allow me to express my gratitude to His Excellency the President and His Excellency the Deputy President, for their guidance and wise counsel to me in managing the economic affairs of this country since the formation of this Government. I am very grateful to them. I would also like to thank my fellow Cabinet Secretaries and their Principal Secretaries for their support and contributions throughout the budget process. I am also sincerely grateful to the Speakers of both the National Assembly and Senate and their respective Clerks for overseeing the approval of submissions on the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2017/2018. I am also grateful to the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee led by the Chairman, Hon Mutava Musyimi and the other Departmental Committees of Parliament for the comprehensive and constructive engagement in reviewing the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2017/18. I am also grateful to the Majority Leader of the National Assembly, Hon Aden Duale for his relentless support to get most of the legislative proposals on finance matters pass through the House. We are also grateful to all Members of the National Assembly and the Senate for their cooperation and support, management and staff of the National Treasury under the able leadership of the Principal Secretary, Dr. Kamau Thugge, who have tirelessly worked long hours, including most weekends to ensure that this Budget and supporting documents meet the legal deadlines. Hon. Speaker, this is a clear demonstration of their selfless service to this country and we appreciate this extra effort by officers of the National Treasury to this exercise. We are also grateful to the management and staff of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for their contributions; staff from the Attorney- General’s Office; staff of the Parliamentary Budget Office for providing support on the Budget process; our bilateral and multilateral development partners as well as our private sector for their contribution to our development agenda through their technical and financial support.
