    "content": "him to think outside the box. He should not listen to those bureaucrats who prepare things and tell him to sign. He should think of how much money we would save in the districts. On procurement procedures, if you go to shops in Garsen, we get a pen at a cheaper price than when someone is given that work to procure for the Government. This is happening everywhere in this country. I will support you if come here with those ideas. We are tired of this Government being run by bureaucrats. Most of the times, we are doing politics and it is a good thing to keep the country together. However, these people take advantage, especially in the Ministry of Finance. They go through those Budget cycles like it is normal. Hon. Okemo here has just said that Supplementary Estimates are supposed to be for emergency situations. They know we will pass them here, and they say: “Let us just do this and the Minister will sign. He will get support from Parliament because he is a good guy.” Then we pass it here. I am urging him to think outside the box. We help the Minister because this is the primary responsibility of Parliament; to check the utilization of the Consolidated Fund. Those people in the office must now start listening to us. It is not the other way round. The big problem in the Coalition Government today is because some bureaucrats, who cannot even get a vote from their grandmothers, think that they run this Government!"
