    "content": "they have the capacity to finish those Bills. We do not need the extension of the term of the CIC. On the issue of the centres of excellence, I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee. In many constituencies, projects for the establishment of centres of excellence were abandoned. They were not completed. This money is going to help us to finish the projects that had already been initiated by our predecessors, so that the centres of excellence can be used in terms of value addition. However, I would have wished more money to be allocated for safety nets. In this country, we have about 500,000 people who are getting stipends of Kshs2,000 per month. I wish that some money was given for this. I will be recommending that the money that has been allocated to the Judiciary be taken to the elders in this country. What was allocated is a drop in the ocean. Therefore, further amendments are required so that the money that has gone to the Judiciary can be taken to the elders. This will increase the number of the beneficiaries. This has added a lot of value as far as the elderly are concerned. On the issue of Senators, it is important for them to be given something so that they can move around. When some of them go to the county, they cannot even move from one place to another. They are incapacitated. So, the Kshs1billion that has been allocated to the speakers should also move in terms of helping the Senators to do close supervision and monitoring."
