Recruitment of five thousand teachers has been budgeted for this year. Considering the national demand, I agree that this is far below what we need as a country. However, it is a step in the right direction for this Budget to cater for the recruitment of the 5,000 teachers.

The Constituency Development Fund (CDF) has shown tangible results. I can proudly stand here and say that majority of Kenyans today and even in the 2014/2015 Financial Year have felt the effect of CDF more than that of the county governments. I can say this with authority.

This is certain in my constituency and in my county. I am sure that that if I compare notes with my colleagues, I will find that the same scenario prevails in all other parts of the country. This, indeed, shows that by allocating adequate resources to the CDF, we want to target specific development. As you know most of the money or 90 per cent of the money under the CDF is allocated directly to development.

Hon. Speaker, we call for discipline in spending this money that has been appropriated to the different departments of the Government. I think this has been over- emphasized. The dragon of corruption must be slain. We must seal the loophole in our The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

We have seen the overconfidence the rest of the world has in our economy when we floated the Euro Bond. It will be unfortunate if we, as Kenyans, do not stand tall and ensure that we slain this monster called “corruption” so that we can endear our economy to investors out there so that they can invest in our country.

The public hearings have been given adequate attention in this Budget. I must say that it is a Budget that has been prepared after many public hearings were done; when people in Mbita made an appeal for what they needed; when the people in Garissa made an urgent appeal for what they needed and when the people of Maralal said that they had no water in their town. These people have been given adequate attention in this Budget.

I am very proud to represent Balambala Constituency. The people of this constituency and the people of Garissa County, in last year’s budget, asked for electrification of the only sub-county in Garissa County which did not have electricity. Under this Budget, I am proud to say that, that sub-county will get electricity. The living standards of the people of that county will now be at par with that of other Kenyans. This is, indeed, one aspect that makes me very proud.

Effective tax collection is what we need from the Treasury. There are many loopholes in terms of inefficiency in tax collection. It does not mean that we want to increase tax. I strongly believe that if we effectively collect taxes as required from the different places, seal those loopholes and do away with the cartels that have been created to loot our coffers by evading tax this country will be in a better position to finance its budget.

As I end, I send a challenge to our county governments which we have allocated Kshs226 billion. I call on our colleagues, the county assembly members, to stand firm in their budget and appropriation committees and put each and every county through very strict budgetary processes so that we can get effective devolution of resources that we have allocated to the counties.
