    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am a Member of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. Also, I am a Member of the Budget Committee. This decision was reached after a careful consideration of what is wrong with our DOD. This decision was arrived at after an understanding which was out of patriotism that we need to protect the security of our country. I heard the Minister who moved the amendment say that today we have the threat of pirates. The reason we have this is because of this single line budget. Out of this budget the Kenya Navy has been starved of its allocation. Today, we do not have a single warship that is functional. It is out of that realization that today we have said that in order to strengthen the various departments of the armed forces we have to ensure that the Kenya Navy gets its allocation, so that it can be working. We want to have the Kenya Air Force buy its own jets, so that we can have a functional Kenya Air Force. As it is now, we are not sure which department of the defence force is functional. With those remarks, I beg to oppose."
