    "content": "Why do we budget after every financial year? In my position as a Member of Parliament representing the people of Mumias, I have a very strong feeling that we budget because we want to achieve some certain policies that the Executive and the party in Government has adopted. For example, you will realise that currently the policy of Government is to establish a Competency- Based Curriculum (CBC). This has gone a long way to promoting technical knowledge. If you look at this Budget you will find that we have only allocated Kshs4 billion to the Technical Vocational Education and Training Institutes (TVETS) and yet we have established over 130 technical colleges around the country. I am surprised and wondering whether the Kshs4 billion will run these colleges effectively for the one year which this Budget is addressing."
