    "content": "I do not want to talk much. I want to reiterate what the Member for Matungulu has said. Other than making the Budget, this House has the oversight role. It is not enough to just supply funds. After supplying them, we must go out there and counter-check to see whether the money we have supplied today is being used the way Kenyans would wish to see it happen. Therefore, I want to urge the Members of the committees who have been given the responsibility to oversee the State Departments that we have currently supplied with funds to be more vigilant than they have been before. We want to see commissioners being reined in. We want to see Cabinet Secretaries coming in to answer questions. We want CSs to respond to issues that have been raised by Members on behalf of Kenyans. That is when what we have just concluded will make sense to Kenyans."
