    "content": "House even though we see some sneaking from behind by the President courtesy of Article 115 of the Constitution. So, we cannot allow this to continue. Parliament must stand up. We must defend ourselves and what belongs to us. The shoe wearer knows where it pinches most. I heard what the Leader of the Majority Party said. He was attacking the judge and the judgment he made. To me, that was totally wrong. There is independence of the Judiciary and independence of the judge. He is the shoe wearer. He knows where it pinches. So, I do not see the problem there. The Leader of the Majority Party is also entitled to his own opinion, but he does not speak on behalf of Parliament because we are here as parliamentarians and we feel it. Our constituents have matters in court. We have land cases that have taken forever. They have been going to court day in, day out. I know of a family, which the body of their father has been lying in the mortuary for the last almost one year because the matter is in court. However, when you go there, you are told: We do not have funds and so, we have suspended A, B, C and D. Kenyans are the ones who are going to suffer. Hon. Speaker, we call upon you to provide direction, so that we can resolve this matter. If this continues, I think we should bring a Motion to impeach the Cabinet Secretary because he is violating the Constitution. Many times, even Parliament has been frustrated by the National Treasury especially on the issue of IFMIS. Every now and then, money is not sent. It is like a tap of water. They open and close it. It is a conspiracy. This is something that they have been using to frustrate other arms of the Government and we are not going to allow it to continue. We are very disappointed. We register that this is a very bad decision that has been made and it must be revoked immediately. I thank you."
