    "content": "Hon. Members, this matter is very plain and simple. This figure of Kshs157 million is the collective entitlement to Ministers who were being previously paid by the various Ministries. Now a lump sum amount has been provied the National Assembly Vote, so that it can pay the Ministers. It is a lump sum amount and is contained in these Supplementary Estimates. It is only a balance of the Budget. You will also find that among the things being removed are the house allowances payable April 25, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 653 to Ministers, as Ministers. You will also find that the thing that is now being removed and transferred to the relevant Ministries is the gratuity payable to Ministers, which is not payable to Members of Parliament. It is payable to Ministers because they are Ministers. They must be paid by the Executive under the relevant Ministries. That is the position!"
