    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, as I rise to support the Motion as amended, I want to congratulate my very good friend, the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, hon. Musyimi, whom we worked very closely in the Tenth Parliament, for putting up a spirited fight. As I watched hon. Musyimi yesterday, I felt sympathy for him. I saw an honorable man who was under pressure to defend a dishonorable decision by the Executive. I saw a man who was labouring very hard to defend an action by persons or mandarins at the Treasury, who do not feel the pulse of the common Kenyan; people who sit up there in the ivory tower and do not know how the people on the ground feel like. But this amended Motion, in my view, sends out two very powerful messages from the House collectively. One, it sends a message to the Executive that if they decide issues which are disadvantageous to ordinary Kenyans, even Members of the Jubilee Coalition will not agree with them."
