    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I do not want to invoke Standing Order No. 235 that talks about the presentation of budget estimates and committal to committees and Article 243 of the Constitution that talks about the supplementary estimates. I appreciate what has been said. When you listened to the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee when he was moving, he alluded to the fact that these are unprecedented times and we totally agree. Our Committee did not have an opportunity to appear before the Budget and Appropriations Committee to try and justify this allocation of Ksh1.16 billion. However, that notwithstanding, I totally agree with what Hon. Junet was talking about and our Committee did allude to the fact that Article 223 of the Constitution…This was explained by the Leader of the Majority Party, and we recommend that Article 223 needs to be looked into seriously. The Article is being misused at some point. The Speaker ruled just the other day… It was the recommendation of the Budget and Appropriations Committee that justification must be brought for purposes of evidence in order to show payment was actually made and its purpose."
