    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the report by the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, where manufacturing is one of the key agenda in the Big Four Agenda, it is always unfortunate that the manufacturing sector is underfunded to the extent that the Big Four Agenda dream through manufacturing might never be experienced or actualised. I sincerely support the idea and I hope the Parliament Budget Office and other donors will develop a framework or a tool to enable us monitor the performance of the Budget over the year. Typically, like elsewhere, we would have key performance indicators that are financial, operational, performance and un-financial that will enable us to track the implementation of the Budget. More importantly, the question I will continuously need to ask is: What is the multiplier effect of the Budget implementation on the economy of the people of Kenya? To what extent have we generated employment? To what extent have we increased per capita income? To what extent have we improved the general welfare of the people of Kenya? It is high time Parliament played its role because the general joke out there is that we simply come to earn allowances. We simply come to abet corruption and we are not able to nip corrupt practises in the bud before they actualise. Thank you, Hon Speaker."
