    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite the fact that three Ministries have not submitted the cost of their expenses, I want to thank the Prime Minister for that comprehensive Statement. Even though we have not been able to actually get the actual total cost of the amount of money spent by Cabinet, but certainly that is really collossal. My concern here is that we are seated here - I came from my constituency two days ago - schools are about to close because there is no food in boarding schools. Drought-striken areas which normally depend on relief food are not getting food. Does the Prime Minister feel it is fair for the Government to spend such collossal amounts of money on official trips when schools are about to close down before their scheduled closing day just because they are not getting funds from the Government? Secondly, experience has shown that even here in Parliament we have realized that constitutional Bills that are supposed to be published so as to beat the deadline are not published on time because Ministers who are supposed to process and publish these constitutional Bills are either outside the country or not available. Do we not consider that the absence of Cabinet Ministers, particularly because they have gone out of the country really paralyzes the services that they are supposed to give to the people of Kenya?"
