    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Vote for the Ministry of Finance. This is a key Ministry which allocates funds to various Ministries. We appreciate that. Early this year or late last year, Members of Parliament tried to partner with the Ministry of Finance so that we can also be involved in the budget-making process. We wanted to put in our input. However, the Ministry was very reluctant and the media took it up and hit at Members of Parliament. The media accused us of wanting to “eat” that money. It is difficult for hon. Members to “eat” money because we are only after representing our people and seeing to it that they get value for their money. The involvement of the Budget Committee in this process will ensure that Kenyans get value for the taxes they pay."
