    "content": " Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There were so many hiccups and disputes. Everybody supporting NMS is always talking about Article 187 1 (a). They are not focusing towards the end of this Article which talks about that transfer of functions. I will read Article 187 2 (b). In my accusations, in number (b) I am being accused for defying Article 187 1 (a). I am aware that article 187 (1) (a) talks about the functions to be transferred and the funds to be allocated to these functions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, towards the end of the same Article 187 (2) (b)states that- “Constitutional responsibility for the performance of the functions or exercise of the power shall remain with the government to which it is assigned by the First Schedule.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, there were so many illegalities which were being committed by NMS and senior officials at the National Treasury. A very good example is that this was not the first budget. There was a budget of Kshs7 billion which I rejected because I believe in the rule of law. I respect the Constitution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
