    "content": "Hon. Speaker, hopefully you will not penalize me because you had given me the Floor for ten minutes. I was on the Floor at the discretion of the Speaker. I want to raise a very serious concern; I want us to go through the policy statement that we have just been given and refer you to a specific section. I want us to refer to our Standing Order No.232(e) which is very clear on the total resources to be allocated to individual programmes and projects within a sector, Ministry or department for a period identified in subparagraph (a) indicating the outputs expected from each such programme or project during the period. This has not been complied with and also public participation is a requirement. This has not been complied with. How did they reach the figures they gave us? I am a student of Mathematics. If you are doing mathematics you must show how you have reached an answer. Do not just give the answer. What these people have done is that they have given us the answer without explaining how they arrived at the figures. Hon. Members, this is a very serious issue; we, as a House, have committees which were to interrogate the National Treasury officials before they came up with the Budget Policy Statement (BPS). This has not been done in details. I have looked at the provisions according to the BPS and I want hon. Members to take keen interest, to see how they have allocated the funds. I want to be very specific here; I want to go to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. This Ministry has outstanding bills of Kshs66 billion. The amount that has been allocated here for development is between Kshs117 billion and Kshs200 billion. But we have an outstanding bill of Kshs66 billion to be paid first. So we are left with a balance of Kshs50 billion. When you look at development, the GoK is giving us Kshs52 billion and foreign partners are giving us Kshs65 billion.
