    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to thank the Chairs of the various departmental committees and the leaders of delegations to the 12 counties in which we conducted public participation for their commitment and dedication in that process. As we agreed in Mombasa during our retreat with the Liaison Committee under the able leadership of Chairman of that Committee, we committed, for the first time as the BAC, that we will liaise with Chairs of committees and brief them after we consider all their departmental committee reports. We did that for the first time in the history of this House. We have listened to Members contribute to this debate and we have picked up pertinent issues. You remember yesterday Hon. Chris Wamalwa and Hon. Wafula Wamunyinyi raised issues on the public participation exercise in Bungoma. As I stated when I gave Notice this morning, we will consider certain amendments especially in relation to the issues that were raised by the people of Bungoma in terms of their priorities and to make sure that we address their concerns as a people in this year’s Budget. Even the issues raised by the Member for Kisumu Central in terms of more resources going towards agriculture in this Budget will be addressed. As you notice, in our report, we have committed and ring-fenced Kshs1 billion of fertiliser subsidy to go towards our coffee farmers. A lot of resources have been dedicated to the agricultural sector."
