    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a very important question. It is a great question. Why then do you bring something that is against the Constitution to this House? All commissioners appointed will not have the approval of this House. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can be given a job and nobody in this House, which is supposed to oversee and pass legislation on behalf of the people of Kenya, will have the opportunity to vet the commissioners. This is an extremely bad law. Look at the issue of NGOs, you are telling Kenyans that NGOs get external support. Please mark my words: It is external support on behalf of Kenyans. Now you want to reduce it to 15 per cent. This is something we are getting for free; we get Kshs125 billion and now you want to reduce this by 85 per cent, yet it is not your money. This is somebody’s money and he is giving it to you for free. You are telling us that we do not want this money and that all that we need is 15 per cent of it. This money is going to do several things. It is going to provide us with water. It will help us deal with the problems of HIV/AIDS, malaria and so on. The Attorney-General has allowed this Bill to come before this House. I am surprised that the Leader of Majority Party and the Chief Whip of the so- called Jubilee administration can support this on the Floor. It is very shameful."
