    "content": "The other question that I wanted to ask the Minister to look at is under this Development Vote. We expect more money to go to real issues that affect the people on the spot and down in the fields. If you look at Vote 026, we have an allocation under the heading, “Purchase of Office furniture and General Equipment”. It is being given Kshs51 million. If you see the projections that come in the following years, you see kshs28 million and Kshs27 million. The question is this: In a constituency like Garsen where some adjudication has started, the process is stuck. We would have done a lot of work with some of that money. Why does the Minister allow a heading like “Purchase of Office Furniture” to take a whole Kshs51 million for the entire year? Then, the next year, they are getting another Kshs28 million. Could the Minister tell us whether we need to purchase furniture every year to the tune of those amounts? Why can this vote head not be slashed down significantly so that we can have real effect on the ground? I need a clarification on that!"
