    "content": "The propagating the idea that some funds need to be retained by the Registrar at the end of the financial year, and that those funds should not be included in the budgeting that is drawn by the National Assembly is taking over the role of Parliament in budgeting. It is watering down the role of Parliament. How can you have some idle funds somewhere whereas in another sector of Government you are unable to make certain commitments or implement certain projects? The Judiciary is seriously misusing funds. In Upper Hill, there are some buildings which were meant for the Court of Appeal that are idle to date, yet Kenyans somewhere cannot access clean water or health services. The idea that they need to be retaining money at the end of every financial year is not good. The Judiciary is one arm of the Government. How come the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) does not have such a fund? What is so special about the Judiciary that does not apply to Parliament? Those are the questions we need to discuss. We need to encourage efficiency. Any unspent money needs to be returned to the National Treasury at the end of each financial year in order to ensure inefficient use of public funds."
