    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I join my brothers in congratulating the Liaison Committee for a job well done. The BPS sets the stage for the budget-making process. They have achieved adorable things under a very strict timeline, and we thank them. This is unprecedented because the budget-making process falls under the purview of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. However, because of the lapse of the mandate of certain committees, the mandate was ably picked up by the Liaison Committee, and they have done a splendid job in that regard. The issue of skewed resource allocation in this country needs to be addressed. Yesterday, I heard the Leaders of the Majority and Minority parties take a swipe at the composition of the outgoing Budget and Appropriations Committee. They indicated that if the current Budget and Appropriations Committee, as will be constituted, will engage in the same monkey business, it will be dissolved in the House. That has been done before. Every Kenyan pays taxes, which must serve us equally. People in every region within the confines of this Republic submit their taxes. It is a constitutional obligation. Therefore, if people in certain areas get more funding to address their needs to the detriment of others, that must be properly addressed.
