He said the Kenya Kwanza administration will not allow any part of the country to be left behind on matter development.
He said every region will get its fair share of the national cake.
“We want to make sure that we eliminate the politics of exclusion and the profiling of parts of the country. We are going to develop this country as one,” he said.
The President said the government has put in place robust measures to address challenges facing Kenyans, citing the cost of living and employment.
“In this budget, we are deliberate about creating jobs,” he said.
He said the country is set to have a bumper harvest that will end food shortage in the country thanks to the Government’s subsidised fertiliser.

“I want to promise the people of Kenya that we are marching forward with our development agenda,” he said.
