    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to correct Sen. Cherarkey. I do not do a budget. All I do is give money to the County of Nyamira. As a lawyer, he should know that this House has no mandate to make budgets. Secondly, Sen. Cheruiyot knows I have always been a member of the opposition. I have never been in Government.

That is what we want to see from our leaders from the Kisii region. Why should we be traveling to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret, when Hon. Osoro is our Whip? He can whip the Members of the National Assembly to allocate enough budget to upgrade that hospital. Hon. Japheth Nyakundi is the treasurer of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), a very senior position. He sits on the National Assembly Committee on Finance and Budget. So- --"
