    "content": "Police Service their money directly, so that they can account for it. They have the ability. All we need to do is change the Act if we have to. It is not fair. It is the same thing with the Prisons Department. Prisons is another department where we have got old bills. Somebody who supplied food to prisoners four or five years ago has not been paid. All this is very clear. Everybody knows it. The National Treasury knows that we have pending bills. It is high time as we approve ceilings we asked if they are realistic. If they are not realistic, we must come up with a budget and policy framework which is realistic. We cannot allocate money for roads and we go home telling people that roads will be constructed and go to the next elections and yet, the roads will not have been constructed. Voters will reject you. As Parliament, we serve Kenyans. If we do not do what is correct; if we do not insist that the National Treasury must do what is correct, we are going to be the causalities. The National Treasury will not be the casualty. We are going to be rejected by the voters because we will have failed to provide what we promised them. It is high time the National Treasury stopped saying: “We cannot do this! We cannot touch this.” We feel that there is nothing we are doing in this Report."
