00:00of doing budget work in Kenya.

00:04And we do it because you know that

00:07the Kenyans have taught us to work hard.

00:10They have taught us that we should work with the money we have.

00:16And so it will be necessary,

00:18the budget we have been through,

00:20to cover it with the money we have.

00:24Isn't that right?

00:26And that is what I want to encourage the Kenyans.

00:29Because we will cut our budget to 1.177 billion.

00:35There are things that we have already agreed,

00:38that even as we cut our budget,

00:41those issues must remain,

00:43because they are very important to the bosses of us,

00:47our bosses, who are the people of Kenya.

00:50First of all,

00:52we need the money that is there,

00:54for the milk production.

00:561.5 billion shillings.

00:58If the chairman of the budget

01:00cuts all the shillings,

01:02that money will not be cut.

01:04Because we want a new KCC,

01:06so that the price of milk

01:08does not go below

01:1050 shillings per litre,

01:12the money that goes to the shillings.

01:15The second example is fertilizer.

01:18The subsidy of 10 billion shillings

01:20will still be there.

01:22Because we want all the shillings,

01:24to continue to shill without stopping.

01:27The shillings of tea,

01:29the shillings of coffee,

01:31the shillings of food,

01:33like the shillings of wheat,

01:35to be fertilized with fertilizer.

01:37The other example that we have already accepted,

01:40our JSS teachers,

01:42they have been very self-sufficient,

01:44in their work.

01:46And all of them, about 46,000,

01:48they have been interns.

01:50This is something that we must raise with them.

01:53Because even if we cut our budget elsewhere,

01:56we want the rights of JSS interns,

01:58to be used,

02:00and to be given permanent and pensionable jobs,

02:03because they have been self-sufficient for a very long time.

02:06There are other things,

02:08like the waste that has been collected,

02:10and we are also looking at that.

02:12And there is another thing,

02:14when we are here in a technical situation,

02:16there is money in the budget,

02:18to be given to the trainers,

02:20of our technical and training institutes and colleges.

02:24This money, to be given to the trainers,

02:26must also remain,

02:28because it is not enough,

02:30and it is where Kenya wants to go.

02:32And for all of these,

02:34we will cut,

02:36we will try to start by

02:38looking at ourselves,

02:40to cut the money that is not enough,

02:42or close to us.

02:44The money that is not enough,

02:46to be used by Kenya,

02:48must remain in the budget,

02:50so that the meaning will go well.
