    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee, led by my brother, Hon. Sam Atandi, for the great job they have done. I take particular note of what the Chairman has communicated to us in regard to Vote 1091 on roads. He said that they have taken into consideration the need for equal distribution of resources to all parts of Kenya. He has promised to share a list on the same and so, I will be very keen to see that Nyamira County is considered in that distribution. I am also very happy that the State Department for East African Community Affairs has been allocated funds. On numerous occasions, they have been under-funded. The allocation is a good indication. On the Senate Oversight Fund, it is provided in the Constitution that both the National Assembly and the Senate perform oversight function. We need to look at this Fund again. If we are not all getting the Oversight Fund, then let us not get it. It cannot only be one House that is getting that Fund yet we perform the same functions. That goes against the grain of the Constitution. Let us just agree to be satisfied with the current salary that we have but, if the Oversight Fund is going to anyone, then it should be to both Houses. If not, everyone should miss out on it. I thank you."
