    "content": "Hon. Kimunya, the Leader of the Majority Party, made a grave mistake that informed the mood that you saw in the House. He threatened Members with dissolution of the House. He was doing that to whip Members. How do you threaten Members with dissolution of the House? Would he not be affected by the dissolution? Unfortunately, he said that the dissolution would be by the Head of State. I do not think he had such a brief. He needs to go back and learn public relations. We put the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Kanini Kega, to task as to where the money is. He said there is a schedule that will be attached to the Supplementary Budget. Together with other Members, we told him that we want to see an allocation, not a schedule. The schedule, according to most Members, is a promissory note. A promissory note does not have to be honoured. We want to see where the Ksh13 billion is. We understand the deficit has been created because the owed debts have benefited from allocation in this Budget. We cannot continue working like that. We were ready to vote. We are still ready to vote but we also have to consider the proposals on the Floor. It could be a win-win situation. We are in the era of win-win situations. We should defer this matter to be able to get NG-CDF money in the accounts. Also, the leadership is in a problem. Some members of the leadership have paid themselves the entire amount of NG-CDF money for their constituencies. So, they do not care about other Members. That is something that needs to be investigated. Although I may not have the material evidence, another allegation is that members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee have also allocated themselves an extra Ksh100 million. Shame."
