    "content": "is because they do not have resources. Therefore, they do not have the capacity to hire people who can run them properly and entrench political party democracy in the country. I am happy that while Hon. (Ms.) Tuya was moving the Motion, she reported the situation sector by sector. She spoke on health and other issues. It is upon the Committees of Parliament to take a step further by looking at this Report carefully and see the status of implementation of each and every recommendation. As a Committee, they need to ensure that whatever has been reported to the Implementation Committee as being done is actually being done, so that whatever is passed in this House can eventually be done for the benefit of the country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have heard people talk about Parliament being rogue, going beyond its powers, re-allocating resources and being punitive. Resource allocation sometimes involve being punitive. It can be punitive if a Principal Secretary, a Ministry, a State organ or an agency is misbehaving. Punitive measures may be employed to reduce the budget allocation to that particular organ. Budget reduction is not unique to the Kenya National Assembly. It happens everywhere in the world. Parliament must ensure that State officers behave in a manner that respects the people."
