    "content": "As I conclude, there is one thing that we, as a House, have to agree on. Kenya has had a very large Government over the years. Majority of the Bills that come to this House end up creating a Government body. Therefore, we end up with a huge Government. Therefore, most of Government money gets lost into many entities. In this regard, in the first phase in this budget cycle, we have denied 47 Government entities money for operations and maintenance. We have saved around Ksh7 billion in this exercise, so that we can walk the talk of having a lean Government that leaves much more money to go into the service of Kenyans. Hon. Speaker, there is a question I asked yesterday. If you go to Ndhiwa, Bondo or Taveta Constituency, you will get a Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) engineer, Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) engineer and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) engineer. We need to ask very critical questions in this House. Do we actually need this kind of duplication, so that going forward, the money we are spending so much in recurrent expenditure can be used for development?"
