    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Basically what we would have done is very simple. The budget-making process started a while ago realistically with the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), then the Budget Estimates, we went through the Committee of Supply and now we are in the Appropriations Bill, which is just the summation of figures and amounts appropriated to various votes. However, I am aware there are a few amendments which will come. Some of them are harmless because they are just trying to align budget lines supposed to be effected. I think one amendment which stands out is the one to give Senate Affairs an oversight vote of Kshs500 million. I want to be very clear that I am one person who has been very consistent in opposing the Kshs500 million which is going to the Senate. My reasoning is very simple. You know the problem is dishonesty from the Senate. They should have just opened up some years ago and told us that they do not have enough pocket money to hold public barazas . This terminology and baptism they are giving this money as Senate Affairs Oversight is just trying to play around with our psychology. The truth is that Senators feel they need money to go to the counties and hold barazas . This may be necessary The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
