    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the adoption of the Report on the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2016/2017. Let me start by thanking the Committee for a very good job that was done. The Chair of the Committee has given us a very detailed Report and explanation. Obviously, that Committee did a wonderful job of going through these pages of figures and tried to assist us to make sense of them. This is one of the most important responsibilities of Parliament. We appropriate money to allow our country to move on. A whooping Kshs2.3 trillion was estimated. This is a lot of money. From what the Chair of the Committee was saying, I picked up certain concerns, particularly with regard to discipline in the use of these funds. There are concerns about the application of the money, particularly to various development projects. I heard the Chair talking about certain proposals or development projects that were not clear. It is not easy to differentiate what is going on, what has been there and what is coming. What this seems to indicate is that there is still need for improvement in the systems, controls and expenditure. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
