    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion. The Minister for Finance has asked for the authority to withdraw 50 per cent of the coming financial year Budget in order to make the Government departments run. I want to support him because there are some Government Departments or Ministries, if not all, that need urgent attention, for instance, the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. Our people in some areas need a lot of relief food like the area I come from. We cannot wait until August or October for the authority to withdraw money for that purpose to be given by this House. So, I urge this House that we consider this Motion positively because of the plight of those Kenyans living on relief food. We also have the commission that this House has just formed; the Interim Independent Commission on Boundary Review (IIBRC) and I think it is high time that we also give them money to start their work immediately because those are some of the reforms that we are saying as Kenyans that they need to be addressed urgently."
