    "content": "Year was Kshs23.3 billion. This House approved Kshs18.9 billion. Out of that amount, Kshs14.5 billion is for recurrent and Kshs4.4 billion for development. Hon. Speaker, these figures are important for Members to understand, so that you know the extent of this matter. The National Treasury now intends to reduce that budget by Kshs2.9 billion arising from the so-called memo. Hon. Speaker, you missed some critical points I was making, and I want the House to appreciate the extent of this matter, so that out of the Kshs18 billion that was approved by the House, Kshs14.5 billion was for recurrent and Kshs4.4 billion for development. Hon. Speaker, The National Treasury now proposes to reduce that budget by Kshs2.5 billion out of which, Kshs1.5 billion will be from recurrent and Kshs1.4 billion for development. This House should understand the effects of that reduction. We represent the people. I represent a constituency. They are in our Constitution and are entitled to access justice in their constituencies. Most of the Members in this House will confirm that there is a big challenge under the Constitution. Every county has to have a High Court. As is the case now, Kenyans travel very many kilometres to access our courts and therefore, access justice."
