    "content": "We were told that the impounded Finance Bill was to raise Ksh364 billion. There has been no explanation on how we are going to raise the difference of close to Ksh200 billion. Are we going back into borrowing? He has said that for the amount we have borrowed so far, we are using Ksh65 for every Ksh100 we collect to pay debts. Are we going to dig deeper into debts? Are we disregarding the simple theory that when you are in a hole you stop digging? Are we digging deeper and deeper? Thirdly, we appropriate money. The entire appropriated funds are hardly ever disbursed to MDAs. As we stand here, we are told Ksh30 billion was never disbursed to counties last year. The NG-CDF itself has about Ksh13 billion. If you go through all State departments, you wonder whether we budget for the sake of it or we are serious in our budget-making process. Do we make avenues to keep on piling pending bills so that we benefit from interest charges and court awards? As we propose and support, it is time to go back and look at the budget-making process in this country."
