    "content": "As I finish, so that others can get a chance to respond, as a country, we must stop to imagine that when it comes to elections time, we close this country and then pick it up after elections. When we put the Principal Secretary to task on why, despite using Article 223 of the Constitution to pay the Ksh6.14 billion, he did not come to Parliament for approval within the recommended time as per the Constitution, we were told it was during the transition. During that transition, we had Principal Secretaries who were still in their rightful positions. We still had Cabinet Secretaries until this House approved the new Principal Secretaries and Cabinet Secretaries. That is the only time we are going to have the new accounting officers in charge. We must adequately address this issue and make sure that no Government in present or in future will ever abuse Article 223 of the Constitution at the expense of the country, and especially around elections time. Kenya is a going concern with or without an election. I had more things to say, but in the interest of allowing other Members to speak, I support."
