    "content": "This budget addresses emerging issues. The Jubilee Government would not want the current situation our country is in to prevail - It is the most unfortunate situation. Persons in the Opposition are using the existence of natural calamities to bash the Government. That should not be the case. We should not hear of that from able Opposition leaders. It is not the wish of Jubilee that our country be faced with drought. It has not only hit Kenya but also our neighboring countries. I am saying this because we used to get a lot of maize from Tanzania. I remember President Magufuli had given a directive that they add value to their maize. In fact, Tanzania was trying to come up with legislation that bars selling of maize to neighboring countries. I had some people at the border complaining so much about the new policies that President Magufuli has come up with. His policies are killing business in Kenya and our businesspeople who used to trade with Tanzanians can no longer do so. As much as they wanted to get maize from Tanzania, it is now proving to be difficult because of the Magufuli policies and the shortage of maize. It is unfortunate that the Opposition is using acts of God to challenge the Government."
