    "content": "We cannot talk about debts while we are spending on unnecessary things. We are talking about debts while our President is partying in some country somewhere. He told us that he was going to sign agreements and get employment opportunities for us in Saudi Arabia. Do we have ambassadors who can do this? When I travel out of the country, it is more expensive than when my househelp travels. In that case, why are we talking about debts instead of talking about the unnecessary expenditure that we are going through? We had the Supplementary Budget here. I understand that State House and the Presidency topped up their budget with Ksh200 million for chai and mandazi. I understand that they do not drink alcohol. What do they spend this money on? We have El Nino rains now. Instead of allocating the money in areas where people are dying, homeless and sick because of El Nino rains, your President is flying out to spend an equivalent amount of his budget that he has just topped up for tea and luxury in State House. We are not honest. If we do not work on our expenditure, then there is no need of talking about our debts because we borrow to spend."
