    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Prime Minister to insist that he did not understand hon. Mbuvi? Hon. Mbuvi was very clear on the connection between general elections and the issues we are facing. Is it in order for him not to answer this question yet we are aware that Ministries of one side of the Coalition Government have been given enhanced Budget allocations in the recent Budget, whereas the budgets of the Ministries on the other side of the Coalition Government have been reduced? Take even the case of the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), an agency. It has been given over Kshs2.7 billion extra, yet the Strategic Grain Reserve, which is critical in feeding the people of Kenya, has been given only Kshs1 billion. These amounts are meant to be spent in next year’s general election. Is it in order for the Prime Minister to deny the obvious – that there is a scheme by this Government? A lot of money has been lumped in the Ministry of Finance for no reason. Is it because the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, who is a presidential candidate, wants to use this money for his campaign next year? If that is the case, why can the Government not get the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance out of that Ministry?"
