"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to take this earliest opportunity to dispel the fear from the Member for Ainamoi and tell him very clearly that this particular amendment will not have any effect on the overall Budget. So, we are completely in order to make this amendment. This amendment is really informed by the need to look at the priorities of this country; to understand clearly whether we need to fund or give money to the NSIS at the expense of the Kenya Police that is on a go-slow and that requires money to boost their morale? Those that have an idea of what happens at the NSIS will agree that in the last Budget, the NSIS has purchased an aeroplane that is not necessary or a priority. We have information that this money is in excess of what they need. This is money that is used for politics at the expense of the priorities in this country. Motor vehicles have been seen going to the Central Bank, namely, vans stashed with cash and driven all the way to their headquarters at the expense of the priorities of the common mwananchi of this country. I beg to second this amendment. It is for this Parliament to decide what is right for this country and what is not."
