    "content": "On the issue of the Presidential system, it reminds me of Mr. Wachira Maina, one of the consultants who took us through the difference between the Presidential system and the Parliamentary system when we were in Mombasa. It is very clear in his submissions that when it comes to Parliamentary system, Parliament has powers to amend everything. So, whatever comes on this Floor, we cannot say that Treasury must be the one to dictate. We can throw it out because ours is a Presidential system and not a Parliamentary system. It is high time we understood that when it comes to the Presidential system, Parliament is the budget-making House. We have the powers to amend and review the Budget. When I was going through this, I was very concerned because I did not see where Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) was. However, the Chairman of CDF whispered to me where it is. Since the CDF has done so much, whatever is before us, we are going to manage it. Every Kenyan knows the role and the value of CDF in the community. I support."
