    "content": "Let me tell Members of Parliament, so that they can understand where the National Treasury is coming from. They needed Kshs13.5 billion to fund the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum for geothermal generation and transmission. Today the price of electricity connection has gone down to Kshs15, 000 from Kshs35, 000. That is helping our country. This must be taken into consideration. This money is not going to Jubilee or to ODM. It is going to Kenyans and it is going to help them. I would like to tell hon. Members that we are also at pains to understand where the National Treasury was coming from. It is not easy when the National Treasury comes and says: “We did not have a choice. We had to use this money and then ask for approval of this House.” That is why we are here today. I ask hon. Members to be honest. I know for most of us who are new comers, this is probably the third Supplementary Budget that has been brought to this House. Even past parliaments approved Supplementary Budgets. So, I do not know why this one is becoming a big deal."
