"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, before I read what I am delegated to do, it is important to comment on the Statement made by Hon. Kimani Kuria, the Chairperson for the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. It is extremely important to understand what is happening in the country, and the deliberate efforts the Government is making to ensure that we stabilise this country’s economy. I am referring to what Hon. Ichung’wah has said about the Political Parties Fund, which is largely overfunded. For what reason? We have no idea. Especially, at times like this, we have to swing into action. We have a myriad of problems in the country, including the catastrophe occasioned by El Nino weather phenomenon, and here we are with the Political Parties Fund having Ksh1.4 billion. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, the Budget and Appropriations Committee, and the House did a wonderful thing to reallocate that money to more needy areas. That is the way to go. There is no other way."
