    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to request for a statement on the cost of the trip by His Excellency the President to the 2015 United Nations General Assembly in New York. Pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b), I wish to seek for the above statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding the trip by His Excellency the President to the said conference at the United Nations (UN) Headquarters in New York. In the statement, the Chairman should, among other things, address the following:- (1) How many overseas trips has the President made from January, 2015 to date? (2) Could the Chairperson clarify the composition and number of persons in the delegations in each of those trips? (3) What has been the cost of each trip to the Kenyan taxpayer? (4) Could the Chairperson confirm that there are over 40 Members of Parliament (MPs) in the President’s Delegation to the 2015 United Nations General Assembly and explain their role in the trip considering that the Kenyan delegation is entitled to only 10 sitting slots at the General Assembly? (5) What measures is the Government taking to cut down on the frequency and size of delegations in overseas trips in view of the admission by His Excellency the President that the country is facing a financial crisis, making it difficult for him to honour the Supreme Court’s judgment to effect a salary increment to our teachers? I, thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
