    "content": "the representative of the people and the security of the people, must come out and say: “We need this money so that these Ministries can perform.” Hon. Speaker, when you look at the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, there are issues of mobility and communication within the Police Force. You will hear that something is happening and you cannot move. We are being told, surprisingly enough, that there is money sitting in the banks - Kshs82 billion, which the governors are not able to plunder. That money should be brought and be given to very needy areas. We need to give that money to KURA, KERRA and REA. That money should be distributed to the constituencies, so that development can reach people. Hon. Speaker, this House must send a very a powerful message to the people who are supposed to be receiving resources for the benefit of our people. We are the representatives of the people and if that money cannot get to our people, then we must demand why? With regard to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, we have so many poor children who are not able to go to school. We have so many schools without teachers. We should have been told so much money has been given to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology so that many teachers can be employed. Hon. Speaker, I could have continued contributing, but because we want to be specific, the Supplementary Estimates should have come out very clearly in areas which are in need before 30th June, 2014. With those very few remarks, I want to appeal to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in the Appropriation Bill, to adjust the security vote."
