    "content": "compromised but we are ready to spend a lot of money on Recurrent Expenditure? We have seen this weakness not just at the national Government but also at the county government where you find a lot of the money is going towards Recurrent Expenditure. Kenyans want to see more development. Right now, many roads are totally destroyed because of the heavy rains. We need more money for roads so that we take care of all these infrastructural challenges that have been occasioned by the heavy rains. So, I hope, going forward, that we will see real efforts in terms of ensuring that the absorption rates of our Development Expenditure is high enough. That we are talking about at least on the minimum, 80 per cent absorption rate and not 40, 30 or 50 per cent. Otherwise, there is no reason why we should keep coming here year in, year out, passing budgets that are not followed. With those few remarks, I urge this House to support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I urge the Budget and Appropriations Committee to continue doing the good work they are doing to ensure that everything that comes before it is looked at keenly to ensure we do the right thing. With those few remarks, I support."
