"content": "people sitting in the high offices that will pay if they borrow. Therefore, we want to tell the Minister that even if he thinks that he has authority to borrow, we gave him that authority as the representatives of the people and we shall be looking for ways of taking it away. We shall take away from him the power to overload our people with unnecessary debt without consulting this Parliament, because that is the wrong way to do it. The Minister must come to Parliament and negotiate. That is the way the Legislature works. We have our people who are suffering now and are looking up to us to offer solutions. Therefore, it cannot be that this Government calls Members of Parliament to the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) to tell them to drop the amendments without an option. We cannot drop our claim on the arrogance of the banks because the Executive has said so. That will not happen in this House. That was the Government and Parliament of yesterday. Today we have changed."
