    "content": "It even gets worse when you are told that some of these people are graduates. They have been suffering and working as casuals for 10 years yet there are people who have been employed who are less qualified than they are and have been put in grades much higher than them. Is this the image we want to give of Parliament? It is worrying. The Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee must tell us what they are doing to absorb these people who have worked in Parliament for years. Out there, they give the impression that they are working in a prestigious institution yet they are suffering quietly and nobody seems to be speaking for them. We really need to open up this Budget in greater detail for the PSC, so that we know exactly what it is going to do. I am not convinced. Even if you go by the explanation given by my good friend, Hon. Jamleck Kamau, I do not see how if you break down this amount, you will still end up with Kshs28.4 billion. If these are the core functions of Parliament, why was it not done in the first place? The Chairperson really owes us a more detailed explanation."
