    "content": "In Kenya we have begun to think that a large budget is a matter of pride. Such a budget is unfunded and will be funded by deficit. This simply means you do not have enough money to pay for it; you have to borrow or increase taxes. Those are consequences that the citizens of this country should expect to face. Both are dire consequences in a country where poverty is struggling to keep us at the base, instead of letting us fly off. So, when you have a deficit in the budget, you are either going to increase taxes which will be very unpopular, and it happened recently, when we had a big discussion on VAT. You remember even citizens for the first time were rising up and objecting, but the debt has to be paid. If the debt has to be paid, it means that the funds that we would have used to fund development will no longer be available because the significant part of it will go to debt payment."
