    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for this Report. Even though I want to thank them largely for most of the things they have provided for, I am not happy with one item. I want to indicate that this year, I am not very happy with the Treasury, especially with regard to the way they handled the Budget. They did not follow the standards that we had set under the fiscal reforms in the last Parliament. The Budget was done in a very haphazard manner. We were not given timely and detailed information. We did not have broken down Budget items, especially for my Committee. Therefore, it was very difficult for us to make decisions. I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for certain actions they have taken, which appear punitive. My Committee was not as brave. I actually told my Committee that we should take certain brave actions, which would then force the Treasury to know that despite the agitation outside Parliament, we actually do serious work. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am very happy with the saving of Kshs15.38 billion especially because if you look at the items that are indicated there, they are not very essential or necessary. However, I want to disagree with the Leader of the Majority Party"
