    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, the amendment is important, and it is important that I explain. I know that it is being opposed controversially. I know that our children are at home because their teachers are on strike due to a debt which was incurred in 1997. What the teachers are seeking are peanuts for the individual. I like what the President said about the economy. How do you manage the economy? You must put money into the pockets of people. This is not money which is going to the teachers for free; it is their money. They have worked for it. I made a proposal in this House a week ago. The Government could have involved us. We know that the Government has mixed up priorities. It is, therefore, the duty of this House to help the Government. I am not doing this for the sake of it. I am doing it as a responsible Kenyan. Why am I saying so? The money is in this Budget. That is why we said we needed to be furnished with proper reasons. It is good that the Budget and Appropriations Committee reduced money that was set aside for purchasing of an office block for the immediate former President. We love our retired Presidents but there is fraud involved even in that deal. I want to table evidence in this"
