    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there has been the issue of vehicles for Ministers. Right from the out set, I must say that I support him. We must also be seen to identify ourselves with the rest of Kenyans. Where a smaller vehicle can do, I think it should be used. In fact, my challenge to him is that he should go ahead and implement the proposal. I think before, 1970, vehicles were purchased by the Treasury and not Ministries. It was possible to standardize vehicles. That is why you find those days, Ministers used to be given Volvos and the police Land Rovers because they were centralised at the Treasury. My challenge to him is to revive that rule, so that vehicles are bought by the Treasury because the Treasury would be able to standardize vehicles. Ministers should have one vehicle, one colour, same engine capacity and same components and improvements. This will go a long way in showing that the Government is not overspending money on the Recurrent Expenditure."
