Introduction 1. Mr. Speaker, once again, it is my singular honour to present the fourth Budget Statement under the Administration of His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta. This statement is being presented at a time when our economy is growing at a decent pace compared with other countries in the region and globally. In short, Mr. Speaker, our economy is performing quite well and the policy measures I intend to highlight this afternoon are intended to consolidate this momentum and lead to increased prosperity for all Kenyans. Accordingly, Mr. Speaker, the theme of this Budget is “Consolidating Gains for a Prosperous Kenya.” 2. Mr. Speaker, this optimism is not misplaced. It is indeed based on our well demonstrated capacity for resilience and strong and prudent management of our economic affairs, even in the face of a difficult global environment. I will, Mr. Speaker, in a short while demonstrate the recent economic successes that we have made as a nation under very difficult circumstances. But before I do that, Mr. Speaker, allow me, at the outset, to thank you for allowing us to read the Budget Statement on a Wednesday – a break from the past where we read it on Thursdays.

Acknowledgements The research and publication of this report was funded by the SDC – the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The lead researcher and writer was Mr Bram Frouws, an independent consultant. The text was developed using statistical data and information developed by the Mixed migration Task Force of Kenya during Phase One of its operations between June 2012 and February 2013.( The members of the MMTF - Kenya are listed in footnote 38.) The views and opinions of this report are entirely those of the RMMS unless referenced. Published: June 2013 The Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat (RMMS). Formed in 2011 and based in Nairobi, the overall objective of the RMMS is to support agencies, institutions and fora in the Horn of Africa and Yemen sub-region to improve the management of protection and assistance to people in mixed migration flows in the Horn of Africa and across the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea in Yemen. The co-founders and Steering Committee members for the RMMS include UNHCR, IOM, Danish Refugee Council (DRC), INTERSOS and the Yemen Mixed Migration Task Force.
