    "content": "Establishment of a debt management office was also raised yesterday in the contributions. If you look at the Report, part of our policy recommendations is to push for the establishment of an independent debt management office. The huge deficit that we create necessitates such an office. We also appreciate the concerns that have been raised by many Members in view of new projects which are introduced in the Supplementary Budget. I am in agreement with many Members that we should see more austerity measures than introduction of new projects in a Supplementary Budget. Understandably, with the Big Four Agenda, the National Treasury explained that a total of Kshs143 billion worth of projects had been left out in the Budget. We expressed the concern. Despite the resolution of this House, the National Treasury will table before the House an implementation matrix of the Big Four Agenda. It will give us the total cost of each of the Big Four Agenda projects, how much they have spent to date and how much needs to be spent in the coming years. We have implored the National Treasury to ensure that they provide that before the House before they bring a second Supplementary Budget in the next financial year."
