    "content": " I hear the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research saying “Vice-Chairs” much as he was not there. Oh! I am sorry. Hon. Kimunya was there. As you mentioned, there are the Chairmen and Vice-Chairs who were not there and they were not represented even by a Member of the Committee. It is time this matter is handled by the Chair of the Liaison Committee. That is so that Chairs and Vice-Chairs of Committees comply. That is the reason we took liberty to involve even the Vice-Chairs – to have broad representation. With that, I urge the House, not just Chairs of Committees, to support the resolutions of that conference to take up our roles in oversight of Government’s development expenditure. That should be the case even as we go to the Supplementary Budget. I beg that we look at where we can make savings from our recurrent expenditure. As the acting CS of the National Treasury said last week, there are certain things that people can do without and not die. People can do without flowers; people can do without training for a year or so; people can do without conferences for a year and still survive. But, we cannot do without implementing development projects in our constituencies, in our counties and in the country – development projects which will spur economic growth and ensure that not only our population has liquidity in their pockets, but also in the economy there is job creation for our very vulnerable youths who are well educated but lacking jobs. With that, I beg to move."
