    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while going through, we gave and had an open and frank discussion. In fact, in the first meeting, the Speaker was actually there. We went through the challenges that we have and how to overcome them. When it came to the issue of the cuts that the Budget Committee had caused, we adopted all those measures on areas where we could cut. There were further recommendations including the teachers. I informed the Committee that first and foremost, after having read the Budget, we were faced with the huge challenge of drought in this country. I informed the Committee that the Cabinet sat down and said that this is an urgent situation that we had to deal with. Therefore, Kshs10 billion and above had to be reallocated in order for us to be able to accommodate the challenges that were facing many starving Kenyans in this country. Money had to be found despite the fact that this House by resolution adopted what it had adopted. So, we needed to look at the whole situation afresh given the challenges that we are faced with. The Committee agreed with me that we had to deal with those challenges and the money needed to be found. That was part of the money."
