    "content": "The Supplementary Estimates are making a mockery of the budget process. A budget process is exactly what it says. You sit down and budget. I cannot see here anything that could be unforeseen that could not have been covered earlier. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Mbadi has talked to you about the Ministry of Education where the Budget Committee had already put aside some money and it was turned down. But now we are bringing it back. So, that was foreseen. There are also other issues that were foreseen like the Kenya Airways Rights issue. The issue of Budget and realignment must take place in the budgetary process. I want to even take on from what Eng. Maina said that he is very much concerned about road infrastructure. The Minister in his presentation earlier on said that some of the reasons why they want more money are because of the Thika project and yet the Minister is reducing the amount allocated to the Ministry of Roads by over 20.5 per cent. So, it is actually tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot. There is one vote where we have increased by 225 per cent; and that is the Ministry of Lands. This was where the Budget Committee had said put some money aside."
