If you allow me, I will consult the Chairperson of the Committee so that immediately after we come back from recess, we can have an appropriate response to the Statement sought by the Member. If you allow me, I want to add to what Hon. Milemba said. Even as we look at budgeted corruption, we must also try to avoid the skewness of projects being done in this country. Although every part of Kenya should get projects, some areas have lagged behind. There are skewed projects from ministries and agencies as the budget is tabled in the House. We also need to find a way to balance the projects taking place in this country so that each part of the country enjoys the national \"cake.\" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I was listening to my very good friend, Hon. Daniel Mwashako, I realised we have a problem. If you sit in a committee, you do so for and on behalf of all the other Members. Do not use your position to enrich your constituency. Every constituency is entitled to a piece of the national \"cake.\" If you take Ksh300 million and connect your constituency to electricity, you do not become the most popular Member of Parliament. In fact, voters will still vote you out. Just be frugal in the manner in which you conduct yourself in committees. What about some of us who are Chairpersons of Select Committees? We are not in Departmental Committees. What do we do? Are we supposed to just cry in the House? We request that the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee not to take us down a path where we have to mention the names of Members who do wrong. We did that in the 11th Parliament, where Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee gave themselves Ksh60 million each. We asked them what some of us should do since they had given themselves Ksh60 million each. What are other Members supposed to do? We can withdraw our support for you when your term ends in three years. We shall then see what happens to you. Hon. Temporary Speaker, let us tell one another the truth. We are very kind to one another; however, let us be fair and reasonable and act within the constitutional limits. Let us not do things that will disadvantage other people. They say that leadership should be selfless. Let us not be selfish in how we approach issues that touch on our constituencies. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
