    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget in order to purport to reply to a Statement that has just been given? It is very clear that what the Senator is asking for is not about the allocation but the implementation status. We know very well that as a Committee Chair, on top of the theoretical information that you have on how much was allocated, you are supposed to go and see if it is being implemented in the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know of many county assemblies, including my County Assembly of Nairobi, where nominated Members do not have office space and staff. I also know of many county assemblies where nominated Members are treated as second class legislators, forgetting that many great Kenyans – including His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta; yours truly, Sen. Sakaja Johnson and Sen. Moses Wetangula – were once nominated Members."
