    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to speak from the bottom of heart that, a day will come when we will scrutinize this Government. We do not want populist expenditures being done by the Executive at their whims; we want this House to be informed of the monies that are being spent. If we want to run a country and if we want the Treasury to run like an institution, I pray that we follow the budget strictly the way that we have discussed here. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I have looked at this Appropriations Bill, which I have said I am supporting, with the cautious remarks I have made, but I am worried again. I do not see clearly in the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs where the money that we expect to spend for Agenda 4 Item is. I would want, when the Minister, will be responding to our concerns to explain for, example, where are we going to get money for referendum. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Draft Constitution was launched by the Committee of Experts. We expect that there should be heavy expenditure provision within this budget for money that will be used for civic education. I do not see it in the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. Could the Minister explain to us because we, as Kenyans, want to see this Constitution succeed, and we want to see these things in black and white? We do not want to be told that money will be found; money will be found where? We want to see that in black and white and to be told by the Minister that this money is here and Kenyans will have the new Constitution and this is where I have provided for it. With those remarks, I would like to say, I support."
