    "content": "I rise to ask the House to reject these Supplementary Estimates for very good reasons. When the Minister for Finance was requesting the House to support the Government in voting billions of Kenyan shillings for both the Development and Recurrent Expenditure, he argued that he is doing so, so that this can support an economy that is doing well. That is a falsehood. The economy is not doing that well. It is not doing that well, not because Kenyans are not working hard, do not want to do well, are not sacrificing for development but because a Government which is opposite us has abdicated its responsibility for serving economic growth in this country and has instead decided to misuse the resources of this nation in a very profligate manner. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the nation cannot pay taxes to a Government that is illegal and irresponsible. If you look at the Constitution, it says very well that for the Cabinet to be chosen, it 636 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 25, 2006 must first and foremost be chosen from hon. Members of this House who are on the Government side and if any hon. Member from the Opposition is to join the Government, that party must be consulted and give its concurrence."
