    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg your indulgence and I will not take much time. I want to congratulate the Chairman and Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I also want to point out that, indeed, the Communication the Speaker made is well informed. Whenever the National Treasury goes against the law, we have a precedent in the BAC refusing to approve anything that is ultra vires to Article 223 of the Constitution. You will remember this House declined to approve the payment of Kshs1.5 billion for the Ruaraka land. That is a record before this House. I want to encourage the Committee to in future reject anything that is ultra vires to the Constitution. This House has a mandate of rejecting such proposals. The matter will then go to the Public Accounts Committee. It is my hope that PAC and other investigative agencies will get to the root of the Ruaraka land case. This House disapproved the payment of the Kshs1.5 billion. Therefore, action should be taken against the Ruaraka land thief and his collaborators. With those remarks, I support.
