"content": "that can be looked into and that the Judiciary would agree to move towards more accountability in the discharge of its functions. That way, cases will not stay in court for so long. Whatever it takes, I think they should look into it. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the expenditure proposals for Teachers Service Commission (TSC) are â and I do not have the details - but my only plea here is: We should pay teachers all the previously agreed commitments to avoid strikes at the beginning of every term. I support the proposed growth here. We cannot over-estimate the importance of supporting education. I see a significant growth in police services and I hope that, that will actually translate into improved services. That is quite obvious here because I do not know what objectives are being funded in this particular proposal. I really think that the expenditure on commissions should not just look at the growth. I think it should look at the initial figures and whether they were not overstated. Commissions that have automatically nine members or so may be costing the taxpayer more than it is needed. There is no reason why we should have more than three commissioners. Let those people be experts. Maybe, we can hire them when we need them. There is no reason to have such overheads and so on. So, I interrogate not just the growth, but also the base figure of Kshs5.9 billion. I find the allocation there is probably excessive and barely justifiable. That has no relationship to what the Salaries and Remuneration Commission may have done. It is not consistent with the budget that that aims to have double-digit growth."
