    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for the opportunity to allow me also to weigh in on this important matter. I want to thank both Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo and Hon. Chepkong’a for bringing the issue. I also want to plead with my good friend, Hon. Mutava Musyimi to understand the concerns of Members. In the morning, he spoke about the culture of suspicion and mistrust among Members, but I think that would not happen if we observed the first principle of public finance which requires openness and accountability. The provisions that we make here should have a relation with the reality that we know. I was just going through, and I hope my good friend, Hon. Ndung’u Gethenji will look at this, the budget for the Ministry of Defence and I noticed that you have allocated a Development Budget of Kshs42million. However, even as we speak now, most of our soldiers do not live--- It is Kshs42million unless it is a typographical error. I was wondering how you can allocate the Ministry of Defence Kshs42million, when most of our soldiers do not even have houses to live in. So, these sorts of things are the ones that we are talking about."
