    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the chance to make an input to this very important Motion. I will start by thanking the Minister for his commitment in managing our resources at the Treasury. Secondly, the ceiling amounting to Kshs1.2 trillion is alarming. If this amount is not properly managed, the country can plunge into a very serious financial crisis. We have seen countries like Greece and other European countries which have already plunged into financial crisis. If it were not for the goodwill of other European countries, Greece would have lost part of its land. I recall that Greece had to surrender some islands in order to save the mortgaging of the entire country. The intention by the Minister is very important because as the population of this country increases, we need more resources to improve water services, roads and other sectors of socio-economic life in this country. Therefore, my fear would be for careless handling of this ceiling. With the confidence that the Minister has demonstrated in this country, we should be able to approve this request. Therefore, I support the Motion in totality."
