    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to rise to support this Motion and the Report by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I also want to congratulate Hon. Ndindi Nyoro for the exemplary work done by his Committee. The Committee appreciates the fact that there is devastating drought and food insecurity in the country. I think the focus on matters irrigation and agriculture has really been touched and handled in his Supplementary Budget. When you combine it with the fertiliser subsidy, then there will be food security in the country in another few months to come. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there are matters that we also need to raise as far as Article 223 is concerned. The issue of abuse of Article 223 cannot really be left under the carpet. This House needs to stamp its authority. Article 223 was slightly abused before the elections. In Page six of the Report, you will notice that under Paragraph 23, the Lamu-Ijara-Garissa Road received a payment of about Ksh2.8 billion for improvement, out of an additional improvement of about Ksh5 billion which was paid in the previous year. The Public Accounts Committee and other relevant committees must interrogate these things."
