    "content": "given the attention they deserve. Money matters are never easy but we seek to give leadership and be as inclusive as possible. I cannot respond to all the comments that have been made, but allow me to just indicate that, again, this country needs the audit. Anybody who has been involved in running institutions - and many of us have been - will agree with me that an institution--- The Government is by far the largest institution in any country. If it has gone through changes in its mother law, it needs from time to time to do an evaluation of where it is going. I do not know why we should feel threatened by doing that which is professionally necessary and experienced by our people. I, therefore, wish to ask that we prepare to support that process and do so in good faith and in public interest. As I close, I also want to just indicate that I know the issue of the gender commission - the Kshs40 million that was taken away. That issue was raised. Let me just say that this was taken away from the Commission. This was done on the recommendation of the Commission itself through the relevant Departmental Committee. So, we have sought to be faithful and to respect the work of the committees that we work with. That is the least we can do. It is not just a decision we made arbitrarily or unilaterally, we made it on the recommendation of the committees that report to us. It was the same with the money that we gave the Director of Public Prosecutions and State Law Office. Just to remind ourselves that the justice chain is more than just the Judiciary. When you sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee, you look at the entire Government. The justice chain is the Judiciary, Director of Public Prosecutions and other spending agencies in that chain. We stand for justice and we will seek to support the Judiciary as well, and will engage with them as time goes on. With those few remarks and with much appreciation, I beg to reply."
