    "content": "There is a financing gap. It is being seen that if we cut Parliament’s budget, then we can take care of Kenyans. That is the wrong message being sent out. We are saying that there are better austerity measures that the Budget and Appropriations Committee can take to ensure that we have enough money. What we have is a very easy thing. They spent the night and cut budgets of various Government Ministries and departments, the NG-CDF and Parliament. The economists in this country can save this country from the huge Government that we have. It is one of the biggest in Africa. It has so many things that are put together. Before the current Government, we did not have Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs). Every CAS comes in with a budget of over Kshs5million a month. If you multiply that by the number of ministries that we have, we have an increase in expenditure in this country. That is the first thing an economist can say. He can tell the President to cut this first, so that we can save money for the country."
