    "content": "Again, are we budgeting for corruption? This is the hardest thing we need to deal with. As much as we need to borrow this money, we need to use it prudently. We need to cut down on luxurious expenses within our Ministries. For example, one time I asked the President where we would get money to finance the operations of this Government. He said that running a Government is like running a family. What do you do whenever you do not have money as the breadwinner of the family? One easy way for a lazy person is to continue borrowing without considering the generations to come that will be required to pay the foreign debt. The other way is cutting down expenses and living within our means. For example, instead of buying a 300 ml Coca-Cola that goes for Ksh400 in a very expensive and luxurious hotel, you can still buy the same in a local or retail shop at Ksh50. I support the Motion that we need to cut down expenses and borrowing. I would like to encourage and persuade the National Treasury to stick to the previous guidelines we provided—borrowing up to 65 per cent from external sources or foreigners, and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
