    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this. I like what Hon. Maore has said. We are going to step down this business using Standing Order No. 1. I ask the leadership of the House that by next week Monday or Tuesday when this matter comes before the House, we need to have money in our accounts. Let us not just talk about that we will go and discuss this and that. People want money. What will only make sense is money in our accounts. Yesterday when the Treasury knew that we were going to have a Sitting, they started sending money in little amounts to our accounts. On Monday, they sent Ksh13 million. Yesterday they sent Ksh6.5 million. This means it is possible for them to respond to the needs of these Members. When you look at the amount that we are talking about, all of us have put money for bursaries. We need to put up classrooms. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the classrooms are not enough. We cannot just give out money for just bursaries alone. We need to put up classrooms. So, whatever we have been given is not even enough for bursaries and classrooms. The President was here. I was hearing what Hon. Kimunya was saying. The President cannot give us a speech in vain. The President was here and he said NG-CDF will construct classrooms. I do not think he was quoting a law that does not exist. So, with all due respect, Hon. Kimunya and the leadership including the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, please go to the National Treasury and tell them to put money in our accounts. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
