    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to join other Members in supporting the passage of the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. Even as I support the Bill and the recommendations that the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has raised, I want to go on record as saying that when the Kshs80 million was proposed by this Committee for the purpose of the Constitution, I raised a concern on whether the new offices, some of which are occupied by Members like me are at risk in relation to the audit. The Chair and Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee like hon. John Mbadi and others confirmed that the audit was only for the purpose of a cost-benefit analysis, and it was not an audit to be used for the purpose of removing from constitutional structures provision for some Members of Parliament If, indeed, any of those measures is required, then we will have to go back to the people of this country in a referendum and ask them whether they want to change the structures in the law. So, even as we support the Bill, I think that we need to look at the Constitution."
