    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also contribute on this concern for Parliament. One of the functions of this House is to ensure that the Government runs and runs smoothly, but we have noticed that Parliament cannot access electricity. This does not happen in a normal running company. Even in my home, that does not happen. Electricity is never disconnected for lack of payment. My only concern is: Is it lack of planning on our part as the Budget and Appropriations Committee in Parliament? Is it lack of doing things in good time? Is it that we do not have money? I have a colleague Member of Parliament whose workers have not been paid for nine months. For somebody living in Nairobi, nine months is totally unacceptable! How are these workers supposed to serve, pay rent and come to work if nothing has been done for nine months? Every time you go to Mr. Obudo’s office, he is giving you one excuse after another. That might be a metamorphosis of a collapsing system. We need to do something before the system fails. I sit in the Government side and I believe the Government has good intentions but we need to probe them. Maybe they need to be helped with ideas on how best they can run the Government because things seem to be failing completely."
