    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I wish Members could listen to me! If there is any Committee that cannot put any money without this House knowing, it is the Budget and Appropriations Committee because every report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, including the Appropriations Bill, pass through here. If you look at the membership of this Committee, some of the Members were appointed to this Committee last year when we made changes to the Committee. For instance, Hon. Kanini Kega, Hon. Malimo and Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe have not been there. Hon. Atandi is also new. Hon. Sakwa Bunyasi was not there before. Hon. Sakwa Bunyasi came in last year. We moved him from Public Accounts Committee to this Committee. So, I know some of the Members who have served in this Committee for long, like me. I have been in this Committee for long. By the way, this is the only substantive Committee where I sit. There is also Hon. Millie Odhiambo who only sits in one Committee. I want to just persuade my friend and Whip that, please, just allow this to go on so that we do not appear like we are fighting ourselves. However, the bottom line is that you cannot scandalise a particular Committee and yet we know…. Even right now, if you ask me today, the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security of Kaluma may get one or two police officers based on their lobbying. There is nothing wrong with that. Those are Kenyans. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
