    "content": "Hon. Speaker, finally, during the budget-making process, we realised that there are some excesses and extravagancies within some of our departments. The first one in question is the Judiciary. The Judiciary, at one point, allocated about Kshs800 million just to build a court room in Turkana and Kshs700 million to build one in Bomet. I am a very good friend of the Speaker of the County Assembly of Samburu and I am a very good friend of the Governor of Samburu. I have seen what they are doing in building the county headquarters and the county assembly. They are spending less than Kshs200 million, but they are building massive buildings. But if you look at what the Judiciary is asking to build a court room in Turkana - which is Kshs800 million - it tells you that there are some excesses that are being committed by different departments in our country. We have taken care of that as the Budget and Appropriations Committee."
