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.
