    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I know you called my constituency Gwassi but the name was changed. Everything else remains the same: the geographical area; the population - unless someone dies, or someone is born, and the Member of Parliament. I hope that the MP will remain the same. I just wanted to express concern on two issues. The first one is with regard to what hon. Ochieng said on the Budget. Once the Budget Policy Statement is tabled in the House, or even the Budget Estimates, it is assumed that all Chairs through the Clerks will quickly get seized of those reports and act on them. The problem has been that the chairpersons of various departmental committees take time to start processing the Budget Estimates. It is not really the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, again, to tell committees to be working. So, I wanted to put that clearly because hon. Ochieng was throwing blame on the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Hon. Speaker, I wanted to intervene initially with regard to your ruling and directive to committees to be bringing reports in good time. While I was away NationTelevision (NTV), Citizen Television, Kenya Television Network (KTN) and QTV were switched off. I listened to your ruling that we should not bring a Motion for adjournment The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
