    "content": "Kenyans have lost their dear ones. The issue of insecurity is so serious. I am happy that this Committee has allocated Kshs80 billion to the national security sector. We want delivery of services. We want Kenyans to live freely. We do not want anybody to stoke ethnic tensions through incitement. The law should take its course on anybody trying to incite Kenyans, be they from Jubilee or CORD. We will not support that because it is very wrong. We do not want Kenyans to butcher each other. Even if you sack the Cabinet Secretary and bring an angel he will still perform the in same way, unless all the other structures are put in place. Let us not have a blame game. Let the security agencies and those to whom the responsibility of investigations has been bestowed do a good job and bring culprits to book. When we had an attack at the Westgate Mall all of us united as a country. Today, we are divided. We should have visited Mpeketoni, Wajir, and Baringo as a team. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Kshs33 billion that has been allocated to the CDF will go a long way in developing this country. I want to urge this Budget and Appropriations Committee, led by the man who nearly became President before he became shy, to increase the CDF allocation from Kshs33 billion to Kshs100 billion, because this is the only money that reaches the people directly – there are no trips to Israel and other places as the county governments are doing. This money is used to alleviate poverty. We have to invest in the energy sector to make energy cheap. For us to attract foreign investments we have to ensure that energy is cheap. Electricity is very expensive and it has to be made cheap for the economy of this country to take off. I do not know what gets wrong in Kenya. When we want to take off something comes and we are then are in disarray. I can see my friend hon. Angwenyi. He is applying to join CORD, but that is for another day."
