    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I stand to support the allocation of Ksh7.3 billion to State House. Some Members who are contributing cannot differentiate between the Office of the President and State House. State House is the seat of power for the country and must be well funded. It is home to the Head of State. We have several State Houses, for Members’ information. We have State Houses in Mombasa, Nairobi, Eldoret and Kakamega, where you come from. Those State Houses have staff and have to be maintained in a proper way. In the Office of the President, we have other officers who work there. They include the officers we collectively used to call “provincial administration”, who have to get their salaries from there. Chiefs and assistant chiefs from our respective counties are catered for under the Office of the President. Many Members of Parliament always ask for employment of assistant chiefs and chiefs. How do you pay them? You pay them through the Vote of the Office of the President. We need to be objective when we address issues. We should not bring in trivial matters in as far as State House is concerned. It is a seat of unity for this country. I support."
