    "content": "You must reject it. I stand guided. They must go home. Let me delve into the issue of the Kshs3 billion. Article 221 of the Constitution is very clear. I do not want to read it again because the Speaker read it. The Leader of the Majority Party has said something which can take all of us to jail. When you say that the Committee needs money to go around, the Article is very clear on the role of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The Budget process begins in November. Even what we are dealing with now began last year. There can be no more giving. What is before us and what is lawful is not that once the Budget and Appropriations Committee has set the ceiling, it should tinker around with what is in the Estimates. The Estimates are established as per the ceiling. Let me tell you the mischief. If the purpose of the Kshs3 billion is to move around and conduct public hearings, why has the money not been given to the Parliamentary Service Commission or the Office of the Clerk that manages Committees? Give it to the Office of the Clerk that manages Committees."
