    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First of all, I want to say that I am shocked that we, as leaders and people’s representatives, have rejected the Senate’s Amendment to the Division of Revenue Bill to increase the counties allocation just because of the few governors that are misusing money. We are torturing our people. Our people need money. If there is a governor who is corrupt, we must jail him. We should not punish people. We should not refuse to give resources to people just because of a few governors. Having said that, I just want to say that we are very grateful that this Budget is a people’s driven Budget, but some State departments must work hard to ensure that this Budget becomes a reality. I want to comment on the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. You know we have National Police Reservists (NPR). These people work day and night. They move in dangerous areas and that is why you saw that they were sent to Baringo to help. However, these people are not on a payroll. It is very painful that the NPRs are sacrificing their lives for our people and yet they are not being paid. We want to challenge the CS in charge of Interior and Coordination of National Government to ensure that the NPRs are paid, if not, let 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."
