    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I rise to support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I want to thank the Chair and the membership of that Committee for the serious engagement we had to ensure that all the Estimates are looked into; to ensure that no wastages are budgeted for. Therefore, I want to thank the Chair and his team where I am also a Member. This is the second Budget of this Session. I will say that this is the Budget that should bring the real changes that Kenyans have been expecting. This country is facing many serious problems and the surest way of addressing those many challenges is through the Budget process. This is a very serious document. I want to urge our colleagues, those who are saying that they need money to dialogue; I think the Members of this House who go out there to demand for national dialogue are being told that you have failed in the House. That is exactly what you are being told out there. So, I want to encourage my good friend that that is an indictment on his side that they are failing in the House and that is why debate needs to go outside Parliament. Therefore, you are here in the House; what you need to say, say it here. If it is about money, let us discus it here in the House where the relevant institution is. We cannot go outside there to waste money and say that we want to discuss. Do it here in the House and the Senate. Those are the relevant bodies.
