    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice in support of the Budget Estimates that we have before the House. I will start by commending the work of the BAC through its Chair and the membership. From where I sit and as a second term Member, I think this is the most participatory budget process I have seen. Being the Vice-Chairperson of the Liaison Committee, I have had occasion to witness the sort of engagement that the Chairs and their respective Committee membership have had with the various state departments. They have resulted in the Budget Report which was presented this morning. There are quite a number of attractive votes that I could talk about. But, I will start by saying that despite the Budget being very participatory and attractive in many respects, I see a deficiency in the Budget that is before this House when it comes to the items touching on social development. When you look at the social development funds that we have had in the past which are the funds that go towards the economic empowerment of the common mwananchi… I am talking about women, youth and persons with disability. I am speaking about an example of the Women Enterprise Development Fund."
