    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to add my voice in support of this Motion. In so doing, I want to echo the words of hon. Mbadi and I will not repeat them because of limit of time. But I would really want to put this issue to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and believe that he is being misadvised. There are issues that were brought to this House which happened between Committees and the Ministry; things that took members up to midnight. However, at the end of the day, he made the wrong decision. I believe that there are those people who want to remain in the old ways; these are the Treasury mandarins. These people are misleading the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance. If we are doing reform in all areas, I really believe that there must be reform on the Treasury if this Ministry wants to go ahead with what the new Constitution says and what Kenyans are saying. I want to say with no fear of contradiction that what is happening in the Treasury, the advice being given by those in the Treasury, is the reason for the teachers’ strike today."
