    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the debt that is being mentioned here is not a true reflection because it does not include debts for counties, other Government agencies and parastatals. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. mentioned about the debt register. That is the only thing that will show a true reflection of what our debt portfolio looks like. It seems the figure is out of hand because sometimes we are told it is Kshs7.6 trillion and sometimes Kshs7.4 trillion. It is only after seeing that debt register that we will know whether or not we have passed the budget ceiling. I have a feeling that if that is added, then we are in a danger zone. Sen. Were talked about the agency that is being set up. That is the right direction, but it is not an answer. We need to start focusing on completing existing projects and perhaps cut down on new projects. This is because projects seem to be drivers of corruption because of project implementation. Does it mean that we make budgets for corruption to take place? I have not seen any corruption mitigation measures in this BPS. That is also a scary situation.
