    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In supporting the Supplementary Estimates, I would wish to take this opportunity to appeal to the Minister to make an effort to have respect for this House. This House is not a rubber stamp. The constitutional authority of authorising withdrawals from the Consolidated Fund is vested in this House by the Constitution. So, we are not a rubber stamp. If it were not for the fact that hon. Nyachae has explained very clearly here that, in fact, the roads programmes are not going to be affected in respect to the Kshs1.9 billion that the Ministry is seeking to reallocate from that Ministry, I had drafted an amendment to the Appropriation Bill. I was going to move an amendment to strike out that item, so that the Ministry of Roads and Public Works can have its full budget, instead of having a reduction."
