    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, there is one last thing before I sit. I hope that at one time, just like we were able to rise above the challenges of the partisan politics that is the nature of our work. We place before us all these people running for office of President either at committee level or even a caucus of Senators against maybe debt mismanagement in the country. We just listen to the plans of all these presidential candidates. I know that Sen. Sakaja had spoken earlier and said that it is only Hon. Musalia Mudavadi who speaks about this issue. Even him, I want to hear his plan. The things that he says about let us stop borrowing that alone cannot solve this. We already have a problem. We would wish to hear to the rest of the people that we represent. Let us hear their thoughts and perhaps help them in one way or the other as the people who have assisted them to borrow in solving this matter. Madam Temporary Speaker, by the time they go to the election, at least they have reached a solid agreement with the people of Kenya that when I get into office, first, I commit. Let people come and make commitments before us that I will not run a budget with a fiscal deficit of Kshs400 billion or Kshs600 billion as is the case in this current financial year. We cap it at a particular amount and, that way, we will have assisted the people of Kenya. With those many remarks, I support this report. Thank you."
