    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, through the budgeting process, we have seen that we still have some Kenyans who are very keen to steal from the taxpayer. There were very many issues which were presented here that cannot pass the test of time. For example, the building of an office at Kshs700 million when the real cost is supposed to be Kshs230 million. What is that? That is planned theft and it is going on at this time when we have a new Constitution which is alive to the separation of powers, transparency and accountability. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion so that we remove the element of discrimination that happens in this country. I have the disbursement of the funds for the aged in mind. If you look at how these funds have been disbursed, you will be shocked. Some people have been discriminated against. In Shinyalu Constituency, the older people have never seen this money at all. We hear that this money has been distributed. People have been getting money to help the poor aged parents. Who would like that to go away? We would like this money to be distributed equitably. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the distribution of national schools and opportunities in institutions, for example, technical institutions; we need to put in place mechanisms that will correct situations there. We are not taking this matter seriously. As the National Assembly, we have responsibilities and we need to take them seriously."
