    "content": "The House reallocated those funds to other needy sectors. This included Kshs.100 million for the Gotu killer bridge in Isiolo; Kshs300 million for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to employ additional prosecutors and an allocation of Kshs.200 million to the State Law Office, among others. You may recall that this money totaling Kshs.500 million was taken out of the Vote of the Judiciary because of lack of absorption. We had occasion last week to meet with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). We discussed this matter and also took the opportunity to make the point that the Judiciary needs to be a little bit faster in engaging Parliament because there is no point complaining once the horses have bolted. We request the Judiciary and all the spending agencies in the Government to try and be in step with the budget making process. It is the same thing we told governors last week. Budget-making is a continuous process and I take this opportunity to plead again: Let the spending agencies take that into account and engage the Budget and Appropriations Committee on a continuous basis. That is the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), JSC, governors and so on."
