    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this is part of the recanted evidence. We discussed this matter last year and agreed that there was a problem with the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Even the Leader of the Majority Party agreed that there was a problem with the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I am an honest man. When something is wrong, I do not agree. In fact, it pricks my conscience. What Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo has stated is something that we stated last time. I spoke to the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and agreed that we give Kshs1 billion to Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). However, they removed everything. In fact, it took me to come and threaten them in this House that if they do not give money to the IEBC, they should forget about development in this country because we will burn this country in 2017. That was the only time that the President intervened and gave Kshs500 million to IEBC. What is the point of having a Budget and Appropriations Committee in whose work the President intervenes? We would rather have the President being in charge of the Budget and Appropriations Committee."
