    "content": "He is a Member of the Budget and Appropriation Committee and has said that Members are throwing tantrums. As you know, small babies, especially two to four-year olds are very good at throwing tantrums. When I look at all these Hon. Members, I do not see a 2 to four- year-old, who can throw tantrums. I know Hon. Dan has been a Member of the Budget Appropriations Committee since last Parliament. He was a Member when I was the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He knows what happens when Hon. Members raise issues, about the conduct of this Committee. I want to advise him that he is now treading on very dangerous grounds. He knows what happened to the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the 11th Parliament. He might not have been in the House then, but I can apprise him on what happened courtesy of the late Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the 11th Parliament did certain things. When other Members complained, terms such as \"throwing tantrums\" were used. The Budget and Appropriations Committee of that Parliament ended up being disbanded. The Liaison Committee did their work for the rest of the term of that Parliament. Kindly ask Hon. Danson to withdraw that Statement about Members throwing tantrums. Carefully listen to the complaints raised by Chairpersons of other Committees, such as Hon. Kangogo, and the issues raised by seasoned Members, such as Hon. Omboko. The Committee should engage in introspection on those issues in terms of how to engage with the membership of the House and other committees to ensure that budgeted corruption does not find its way into the budget-making process within Parliament. Therefore, I beg you, my brother, to withdraw that Statement."
