    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, during the referendum, the Government went out to defraud citizens of their votes. They went out promising the creation of new districts without considering the amount of money it will require in terms of providing services such the district headquarters, offices for the OCPDs, DOs and chiefs. Some of us demanded for the creation of new constituencies instead of new districts. This is because constituencies will ensure the delivery of services to our people. They will also ensure representation in this House, the people's representation. What is the value of a district? A constituency is more valuable than a district. So, we need more constituencies rather than districts because districts use up more of the Government's meagre resources. The Budget of the Office of the President stands at approximately Kshs29 billion. What is the criteria for budgeting the Kshs29 billion? Is it based on the interest of national security? Those are fundamental questions which the Minister must answer. By the way, where is the Minister of State for Administration and National Security? Where is the Permanent Secretary in charge of this docket?"
