    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I request that in future, when pupils and students visit the Public Gallery, they should not leave without being acknowledged. It is good for their experience here. Kindly talk to the Secretariat. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am proud of the Committee on Finance and Budget. Since the promulgation of the Constitution 2010, the initial allocation was Kshs62.4 billion that had been appropriated. However, only Kshs22.5 billion has so far been disbursed. That means that close to Kshs40 billion is yet to be disbursed in accordance with Article 204. That is clear violation of Article 219. When Parliament appropriates money, it should be disbursed henceforth because it is meant to bring equalization. That money is not for office expenses. It is meant for establishment of dispensaries in Murang’a, Migori and Nandi counties. It should be used for electricity and roads among other basics. We were having a conversation and people were asking why is it that Nandi is a land of honey and milk like Murang’a? However, when you fly over Nandi Hills, you think we live in Canaan because of the beauty of tea plantations. Those plantations are not ours. We are living in a neo-colonialism era.
