    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of poor financial management, our accounts and records from the PAC are very clear in this House. We have tabled here documents showing that in the year 2006/2007, the Government was unable to spend Kshs49.5 billion. In the previous year, the Government was unable to spend Kshs56.6 billion. It goes without saying that even in this financial year, the Government will also be unable to spend another Kshs50 billion plus. So, even if you write a cheque now, it will be meant for the under expenditure--- I know the hon. Mudavadi is a former Minister for Finance. He knows this for a fact. The under-expenditure that results in the so-called returning money to the Treasury will take care of this confusion. Let us just write a cheque today, ili h aya maneno yaishe. We want our children to go back to school, so that we look like responsible parents and leaders of this country – people in whom the country can put its hopes in; we should have the intention of coming out from this cycle of poverty."
