Millie Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":null,"content":"I am very happy on the program on aquaculture business development that will touch my constituency, especially on fisheries. It will create jobs and enhance food security. Affordable housing originally was very contentions, but there is an allocation for it. I am sure at some point things will get better. When people start paying for the housing, the cost will be lower. I want to encourage that in some areas in my constituency, instead of focusing on affordable housing with the same design as big centres like Mbita Town, we should focus on Technical Training Institutes (TTIs) and Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC). I want to thank the Ministry for already considering a TTI in Mbita Constituency."},{"id":1613433,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1613433/?format=json","text_counter":4473,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Suba North, ODM","speaker_title":"Hon.

I want to encourage Hon. Atandi and the Budget and Appropriations Committee to reconsider this in the supplementary estimates. This is especially in light of gender-based violence cases that have skyrocketed in this country."},{"id":1613434,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1613434/?format=json","text_counter":4474,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Suba North, ODM","speaker_title":"Hon.

First, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and his Committee. I know the Committee spent a lot of time engaging the public openly on the Budget and budget-making process. For the first time, we have seen open discussions on how revenue collected from Kenyans is utilised."},{"id":1613438,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1613438/?format=json","text_counter":4478,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Buuri, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri","speaker":null,"content":"We have seen, in the past, some counties and constituencies getting more than others. We find some votes of the national cake being given continuously to some counties and constituencies with no regard to equality and equity. The 2025/2026 Budget has really addressed what has been missing. We have been seeing some counties and constituencies growing in terms of development more than others."},{"id":1613439,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1613439/?format=json","text_counter":4479,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Buuri, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri","speaker":null,"content":"This Budget has taken into consideration the BETA agenda of the Government. This is very important. There are some constituencies, particularly mine, with issues to do with electricity and water. I have noted that we have been allocated Ksh100 million for water. Meru County has also benefited from electricity allocation. The Government has tried very much to bring equity on the division of money for road infrastructure. For the first time, we have seen a lot of consideration in the distribution of the road network on low-volume scale."},{"id":1613440,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1613440/?format=json","text_counter":4480,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Buuri, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri","speaker":null,"content":"In this Budget, we see transparency in the utilisation of the Affordable Housing Levy money. This Budget does not interfere with that money because collections are ring-fenced purely for housing and related development. What Kenyans want to see are markets which are being constructed throughout the Republic. That levy is used for construction of houses. Recently, there was handing over of houses in Mukuru and other parts of this nation. That showed Kenyans how their money is being utilised transparently and accountability."},{"id":1613441,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1613441/?format=json","text_counter":4481,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Buuri, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri","speaker":null,"content":"We have seen the Government committed to improving the health in the country. We have been having issues to do with SHA. The Government has come in handy and has factored that in the Budget. The same case applies to education, agriculture and other sectors.
