    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue of the mall is not what I wanted to discuss. I wanted to speak on the Budget. However, let me talk about the issue of the mall. I do not think the former MD gave us a lot of light on this thing. That is why we are quarrelling. We do not understand the genesis of this thing. It would be important for the former MD to give us the financial benefits this mall was going to give to the Government of Kenya. As my colleague has just said, we should not keep on throwing money to each and every project that is started. First of all, why was it started and where was the money coming from? Was it supported by money from the Government or the private sector? As it stands, is there somebody somewhere waiting to buy it when it is completed? Some of these things are clouded in very beautiful language. Some of us will take sides simply because it comes from Kisumu. We want more light shed on this matter. We should know who is interested, who is going to buy it and whether it really belongs to the Government. We may finish it and find that it does not belong to the Government, but an individual. Let us get more information on this matter, without which I will not support this project."
