    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I have a history of speaking my mind, whether I speak for the Government or for the people who elected me. It is the business of this House, under Article 221, to deal with Budget formulation. It is also the business of this House to deal with wastage in the Government. We represent the poorest of the poor in our nation. We have to look at the opportunity cost between consultancy, hospitality, flowers and catering for the people of northern Kenya who are at this moment suffering the scourge of drought. This includes my neighbour, Kitui County, where the Leader of the Minority Party comes from. We are just doing what Article 221 tells us. That Commission is part-time. They only sit on Thursdays. Because they lead by example in controlling the wage Bill, that gives us the moral high-ground to also control the wastage in terms of public resources."
