    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is good that Members of Parliament implemented this a long time ago; when you see the kind of extravagance and wastage of money in our country you get shocked. I can authoritatively say here that a third of our budget every year goes to waste and now we are discussing a budget of Kshs1.6 trillion. How much is a third of that? It is almost Kshs600 billion, if not more. If Kshs600 billion can go to waste every year, I do not think the Government needs to look for money anywhere else. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we do not need to borrow from China World Bank or International Monetary Fund (IMF), if we can put in place measures to reduce wastage. Wastage cannot be eradicated because we have people living on it. But if we can put measures in place to reduce it even by 50 per cent, I can assure you this country will be--- I cannot assure you that it will be a First World country, but it will attain the middle level income we are thinking about and the Vision 2030 will definitely be achieved. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand here to support this Motion and I would like to say that hon. Members should think out of the box as hon. Jamleck Kamau has done. There are other issues that we can save money on. Let us address those issues and make sure that our country develops. With those few remarks, I support."
