    "content": "Order, hon. Members! As we conclude the matter, Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, the Speaker does not have the Floor on this matter but because of my office, I have information with respect to where Members really are coming from. Members have been concerned, and I think Kenyans, to know whether or not we are living beyond our means. One of the things Members have asked is to be provided with figures as to total Government revenue over the past three years, for instance, and then how much we have spent for every year. This information simply has not been forthcoming. So, maybe when you return after two weeks as we have agreed, you will perhaps come with that information. Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, take it this way, when we asked the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), they said we have been collecting an average of roughly Kshs650 billion per year. Now, you are saying that we do not absorb roughly 50 per cent of our Budget. So what happens to what is not absorbed? You see this is not being answered. Maybe, when you come you will want to give that information."
