    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I find the time sought by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning inappropriate. This is because Kenyans expect us to work and we should not be extending time when people are expecting results from us. I think it is a failure by the Committee to take this matter very seriously. This is because if we agreed that within two weeks they were supposed to table a report before this House, then we should have stuck within those two timelines. Today, when she sought time, she should have given us a progress report on whatever they have so far done. It is unfortunate that they have failed to issue a progress report and the status of the money in the Petroleum Levy Fund that is supposed to cushion Kenyans. I think we are taking Kenyans for a ride. Since this House will be going on recess in the next one week, we will receive that report after recess. I find that the Committee is not taking this House seriously and I do not agree with the time extension. I think the Committee should have just presented a progress report today. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
