"content": "Let me end by saying the following. That notwithstanding, it is imperative that we adhere to Article 201 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Openness is very key. Public participation is very key. If you read the Constitution, it mandates the Cabinet Secretary in charge of any department to apprise the National Assembly and the Senate on the workings of their Ministries. Madam Temporary Speaker, it will be good for the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to now call the Cabinet Secretary here and tell us why are we allocating money and he is not spending this money. That is why I am arguing that the reason why they are not spending that money is not because that money is there, it is because it not there. Let us be realistic. So, if we are given Kshs7 billion, let us be happy with it and see whether now we can call for it. Finally, I want to reiterate what I said earlier on. I would really want to plead with my colleagues. Please read this report and let us debate it. Always have a sense of occasion on what we are debating to help Kenya."
