    "content": "It is also a challenge to the Mover of this Motion to bring a Motion on flowers. I am also worried whether in an economy like this we do need fresh flowers supplied to every Government office every day. This is a Third World Economy. I am worried about those flowers. Who exactly are they supposed to entertain? This is a country that has no money. This is a country that needs pen and paper to write important and quick things. To beautify our offices with flowers or large bouquets every day, live large and fly First Class--- The more First Class you enjoy, the more flowers and large carpets you need in your office. The list is endless. If we will cut down on costs, let us cut down on the cost of travel today. Let us also cut the flower budget very soon. Let us cut on budgets that really make our public officers live large at the expense of the taxpayers. I think the luxurious living is not for our country. Luxurious living is what we may acquire one day if the oil in Turkana is prospected properly, we have a lot of oil, we live like the sheikhs and we have a lot of money. Maybe, we could review at that time this Motion. However, it is time now to curb expenditure because we are living on taxpayers’ money and we are developing our country with inadequate development resources than the Recurrent Expenditure.
