    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Why should we give NIB money when we are appropriating? I am speaking because my constituents are suffering. There is a four-kilometre project which has not been done. On revenue collection, the Leader of the Majority Party is here to tell us whether the Government is broke or not because there are huge pending bills in the Government. The KRA reported that they have missed their target by almost Kshs60 billion. That is the area we need to see. There are serious loopholes in revenue collection. There was an amendment by Hon. Omulele on the money allocated to the Senate. I want to be very specific that this money should not be given to individuals. Let it go to the Committees of Parliament. I am happy some money has been given to the IEBC for voter registration. Before we deal with voter registration, the Department of Civil Registration should issue IDs to Kenyans, so that they can register as voters. Going forward, and I am happy the Leader of the Majority Party is here, we should pass a Budget that is issue-oriented and not one where some people set money aside for their own benefit. I support the Supplementary Budget."
