    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the issue that has been raised by Sen. Wetangula, supported by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and the Senate Minority Leader is extremely important. The reason why the country is suffering is because of this borrowing. The reason they are imposing very high taxes and therefore causing the prices of importing commodities to go up is so that they can be able to raise money to repay these loans. We as the representatives of the people must be able to bring the Executive to account and in particular on the issue of public debt. It is absolutely important that we learn to live within our means and learn to contain our appetite for borrowing. I, therefore, want to strongly support issues raised by Sen. Wetangula that we should not take this matter lightly. We have a responsibility given to the House of Parliament under the Constitution and Sen. Orengo has rightly quoted Article 211. We expect that the Treasury should seek permission from this House before borrowing; not just to come and inform us that we borrowed this and that. Let us take this matter a little bit more serious so that we can save the people who elected us to come to this House. I thank you."
