Hon. Speaker, as stated in the first paragraph, it is touching on both the national Government and the county governments. In any case, it should be more on the county governments. Through your advice, I do not know which channels can be used to ensure that this is enforced in the county governments.

Hon. Speaker, this is one of the most respected Chairmen in this House.

Before I embark on the Budget Statement, I want to say that it is a very wonderful Budget because it is based on a different basis altogether.

being prepared, the changes are minimized. You can see that in the BPS, it is totally different from the Estimates because the Nanyuki came later.

centres, which have been allocated a good amount of money, which will be rolled out throughout the country, will improve service to the people, so that the people of Kenya will not be required to move from Mombasa or our villages to Nairobi to get services. Everything will be in one stop. Kenya is one of the most expensive countries in terms of investments and this is probably because the offices are scattered all over. It has been done in a wonderful way. We have been speaking a lot about devolution. The allocation in this Budget of Kshs226 billion is ...
