    "content": "billion and we gave it to them. It is quite another to allow the Judiciary to access that money. There is an animal called ‘Integrated Financial Management System (IFMIS)’ at the National Treasury where all arms and agencies of Government including this Parliament budget for monies and they can see it but they can never reach it. I can tell you the Judiciary is struggling just like this Parliament cannot even move currently. We have measures being implemented where Parliament is budgeting but other agencies are determining the budgets and have access to the funds. How have we secured the fight against corruption to ensure that there are enough resources to be equitably shared in the nation? This regime came in with the collapse of the fight against corruption. Cases are being dropped by the courts at a shocking rate. There are people who can be identified as corrupt individuals by what they earn. If you talk to members of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and those of us who oversee some commissions in administration and internal affairs, you will realise commissions and independent offices are underfunded. For instance, the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), which is an independent police oversight authority, has an annual budget of Ksh100 million. Their annual travel allowance, including external travels, is Ksh850,000. In the supplementary budget we will be dealing with, it will go to below Ksh300,000. Not Ksh300 million but Ksh300,000. We have disabled the commission that fights against corruption."
