    "content": "This House is supposed to pronounce itself since it is the budget-making authority in the country once we make allocations under the Finance Act and Appropriations Act. They need to bring amendments to us because we are the ones who make laws. It is only Parliament that can repeal these laws or amend them as necessary. Finally, and most importantly, we must also go to the Judiciary. We have been informed that there is some sort of go slow or some attempt to ensure that justice is not dispensed because of a memorandum dated 24th September 2019. We do not understand how a single judge in a resident station in Chuka is going to wake up one day, take out all the matters from the court list and say: I cannot proceed with these matters because of the memorandum dated 24th September 2019 simply because it has been making cuts as regards certain expenses. The position is that the Judiciary must live to its expectation. Citizens are looking upon it to dispense justice even in these hard circumstances. Most importantly, this House should look into the exigencies being exhibited by the Treasury."
