    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank Members for taking time and being patient to discuss this important Report. As a Committee, we appreciate their positive comments. It is good for them to realise that the elephant in the room in this country is public debt. As a House, it is important that we give public debt the attention it requires. As we debate this Report, it is good that we get it right as this will inform our final decision. I am very impressed by comments from Members and very important things have been said. It is time we trimmed our expenditure or cut our cloth as per our size. As Hon. Kimani Kuria said, it is high time we got a very clear and detailed debt register so that as we move into the future, we see how much we borrow and where the money goes. We should ensure that there is fairness in utilisation of money borrowed and inter-generational equity so that we do not overburden future generations. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, I beg to reply and, pursuant to Standing Order 53(3), request that you defer putting of the Question to another sitting. Thank you."
