    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the essence of this amendment by the Senate is that those monies, both in grants or loans and whether for maternity, village polytechnics or roads… Let me ask Members here something: The work that our little Kshs16 million does can be seen in our constituencies. What about the Kshs200 million given here to every county through the Division of Revenue Bill annually? So, Hon. Speaker, it is better this House makes a decision and agree with the Senate that the amount of money for conditional grants and loans from the national Government and donors be returned back to the national Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies. We have no apologies to make. We will ask the new Chief Justice, if she is approved by the House, to employ economists, fiscal analysts and consult with the National Treasury so that, as they deal with the matter that the Hon. Speaker has raised, they are well advised. Their researchers should not be legal persons only, but they should also be fiscal analysts who will tell them the implication of annulling the Appropriations Bill."
