    "content": "When those proposals were first brought in this House, we were told how they would benefit the majority of Kenyans. We supported them. However, today, the same people who supported those amendments are saying that they have not benefitted the common mwananchi . The role of this House is to represent the people. We should discuss how we will ensure that those proposals trickle down to benefit the common mwananchi . I agree with the Mover of this Bill that the Government needs money to fund its programmes. She mentioned a number of programmes that are very critical to the economy of this country. The Government must get money to fund them. We need a holistic discussion. We need to open the bag that is carrying Government’s projects, look at them and then drop some of them in terms of priority, so that we can extend the cushion for a further three or four months."
