"content": "Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to make a few comments on this Vote. First of all, I would like to join my friends in congratulating the Minister in the manner in which he moved the Vote. I would like to express my appreciation in the manner in which he has carried out his duties. I want to encourage him to continue because he is doing Kenya proud whenever he is involved in any exercise outside this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my worry is when you look at the allocations. I think this will become a thing of the past when we set up the Budget Office. We are not allocating money where it is most needed. When you look at the Printed Estimates in the blue book, look at what is allocated to even other departments, not Ministries. For example, the NSIS and the Department of Defence have been allocated billions of shillings. The Office of the President is in its own class. One wonders whether we, the people who are running this country, know where we should invest our money. I believe the Kshs1 billion that has been allocated to this Ministry is too little and yet, we expect a lot from it."
