    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I hope my time has not been consumed because we have very little time and so much to say. First and foremost, I just want to say that this House has powers given to it by the Constitution. I think it is important that Kenyans note that today we are dealing with the BPS. Later on, we will come and deal with the Budget of the country. I am saying this because there seems to be some of us who forget that the power of the purse is actually vested in Members of the National Assembly. There is no one outside this House we can go to solicit for development apart from fighting for development ourselves and providing for the same in the Budget. I say so because those who are out there are the ones who should be begging us for opportunities for development, and not the other way round. Our strategies, as a House, must be Wanjiku and Mueni friendly. I say so because we have been elected as representatives of the people. We have the opportunity of dealing with the Budget and, therefore, we must ensure that the Government prioritises activities that are beneficial to all our voters. Hon. Speaker, it does not matter which part of the country one comes from. All Kenyans have the same challenges. When the economy is bad, it is does badly in the north, south, east The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
