    "content": "Allow me to support this Motion before the Floor of the House. I, however, wish to introduce some amendments. I want to support it because it is catering for people I saw when I was campaigning in my constituency; the elderly people who were not getting their monthly stipend. I will be so happy if those old people are going to earn a living and even manage to go to hospital because if they do not get anything they are going to die very soon. Secondly, where I come from, we do not have food. It is very close to Duale’s place. We do not have food and camels for milk and therefore, we suffer. So welcome and support this Motion because of the provision of Kshs2 billion for relief food. I would take all the sacks of maize to Mwingi, if the money comes next week as we go for recess. Finally, on the provision of Kshs2 billion for housing, I have listened to the seconder of this Motion talking about making sure that this Budget will provide housing for all Kenyans who do not have access to housing in Kenya. I am speaking with authority because I am an architect by profession. The Kshs2 billion is not even enough to house 100 families. So as we move forward I would appeal to the makers of this Budget to make sure that there is adequate, progressive provision of budget for housing in the country. It may not be enough, but it should be progressive so that we can reduce the number of slums in the country. Finally, I oppose this Motion because of one thing."
