    "content": "over. They are dying. The situation is worsening. The Government should have given more cushions, but it is contrary to what we are seeing here. The truth of the matter is that the major issue is corruption. It is high time that the Government rationalised and harmonised its programmes because the revenue is going down. Currently, the Government has many priorities. It is time we harmonised those priorities, focused on the important ones and forgot about the others. Otherwise, we are coming here for a PR exercise while Kenyans are dying. Doctors are dying. Many people cannot afford food. It is time that the Jubilee Government harmonised its Big Four Agenda. It should harmonise and drop some to correlate with the reduction of revenue in this country. I know it is a delicate balance. For the Government to move, it needs money. I call upon the legislators that, as we look at this Bill, let us debate it objectively. I know that the Government is between a rock and a hard place. We should help Kenyans so that we can move. I support the Bill. Let us look at the issue of corruption that is leading to the wastages in this country."
