True,it was more positive.

We could change the subject everytime or better yet start up a rival blog with all the perks we've always wished for

The entire budget makes the heading of this post totally irrelevant.Can Jupiter edit it or we start another............At a glance,it's people friendly.

Yombo dhier....!!

For the first time a budget has been made that addresses the needs of the people. I like the idea of every constituency being allocated a utility.

A health facility and a secondary school is a good start. Next year we should see more; a police station,a court house,a polytechnic etc. Thats the way communities develop.

God work Mr. Uhuru,you took the punches for the 9B error,so now enjoy bonquets for a thoughtfull people oriented budget.


I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

Its an aspirational rather than a good budget. It aspires to:


Cut spend by reducing car sizes,furtniture spend et al. It'll mean new ones have to be boyught and old ones probably kept in some basements. Who is going to monitor the other spending cuts? The same accoutning officers that have been signing off ridiculous imprests?
CDF- How many CDFs do you know that are not functioning for one reason or the other? Isn't the issue that CDFs are being mismanaged and hence money is not being well spent. Where its spent,the change in MPS kills most of those projects. Wintess the bs in Mathira as a classsic example
Budget deficit is actually closer to Ksh300bn and not Ksh169bn as quoted in the press. Will KRA deliver? Will external grants come in?

A good budget.

Reviving the Kenya uganda- railway would help save our roads from heavy trucks.

Seeks to promote tourism by exempting 4wd vehicles designed for tour operations.

It is responsive to marginalised members of our society.

It sets a 200m interest free revolving fund for business ventures of the elderly,physically challenged .200m was also allocated as cash transfer to senior citizens and 100m for purchase of specialised equipments for physically and mentally challenged.

The fact that something is expensive does not mean it is uneconomical. Expensive relates to the amount of money used. Economical relates to the effecient utilisation of resources to get the maximum benefits. Yes,this budget is huge,but tell us why it is uneconomical.


Fundamentals + Sentiments = Position

@ jupiter.
I take the budget to be a good one.It's is the duty of governments all over the world to step in where the private sector can't/won't.The times are difficult for very one hence the need for the big budget.China a few years ago was putting a cap on investments/spending/lending,things were bright and the gov't wasn't spending.Came in a the American craze and the Chinese gov't unleashed 600B US$ to spend on projects which were all along on hold.The Americans have their 1 trillion+ US$ for spending and every sensible gov't is doing the same.
If a government can't spend during hard times,who will? Is every country doing the same as Uhuru is trying to do,uneconomical? Enlighten me.

When i see my purple,you see it not.
