    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to remind Members, especially those who have been here for long, that when the Budget and Appropriations Committee was chaired by the Member for Mbeere, Rev. Mutava Musyimi Members of that committee did the same thing which has been done for the last two years. One afternoon, the late Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo came to the House. While seated exactly where I am sitting today, he told the House the amount of money the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee had allocated themselves in the budget. At that time, the membership of the Budget and Appropriations Committee was 51. The whole committee was dissolved and a new one was formed based on what Hon. Jakoyo presented to the House. If the Budget and Appropriations Committee does its business the way the defunct committee has done, the only solution available to the House is to convert all the 349 Members of this House into a Budget and Appropriations Committee. However, as leadership and parties, we have given responsibility and priorities to certain Members. On our side and I am sure even on the Kenya Kwanza Coalition side, we have picked one Member per county so that they can represent the interests of their regions, constituencies and counties."
