    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to join my colleagues to thank the Member for Kikuyu, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, who is the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I heard Hon. Duale digressing on a particular issue, but I would like to thank him and his Committee for doing a very good job. It is quite a lot of work. We must appreciate Members who work hard. Hon. Duale should also be let to do his work. He is excellent in his job. His execution is perfect. When I said oversight is necessary and Parliament must be given time, space and independence, my sister, Hon. Obara, took issue. It is true that sometimes we have done very well but it is also true and we must agree to be held accountable like we also hold others. Let us avoid pretense. When we have done well like we have done in this particular exercise, we want to commend but, when we have lost it and many times we have done that, let us agree that it can happen. Therefore, a call to good work, consistency, working under and within the law is really positive criticism. I am an ardent supporter of the independence of the Legislature; I an ardent supporter of the independence of our institutions and of course empowerment of women is key in development. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
