    "content": "I am happy that the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. John Mbadi, now concedes that indeed they are being listened to. By that, I am sure he meant the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party which he chairs. A Member of that party, Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal, once described a government as the president and the people the president listens to. Therefore, if you want the definition of a government today in line with Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal’s definition, then it is the President and the people he listens to, that is, the people that Hon. John Mbadi is alluding to. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the BPS that we are being asked to approve is looking at a deficit of 7.5 per cent as the Chair has alluded to for our GDP and an absolute figure of about Kshs930 billion. Hon. John Mbadi went to great lengths to enumerate the Kshs240 billion, Kshs260 billion and Kshs280 billion that were being borrowed between 2010 and 2013. However, the Government, as it is today, is seeking an approval of Kshs930 billion."
