    "content": "(Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is my discretion to choose the one I want to speak to. So, protect me from my colleagues, so that I can speak on this one. As much as I want to speak on the next Motion, we are almost time barred. I support this Report by the PAC. They have done a good job. It brings to light the kind of country we are in. I happen to sit in a certain departmental committee and I look at the way they do their things and the kind of reports they present to us especially when they appeal for budgetary allocation. Many times we have engaged them, we have had issues. Why is it that we still have pending bills yet we have the PFM Act whereby you cannot procure more than the money that is at your disposal? We are grappling as a country because we have deliberately refused to move forward. The issue of pending bills should not appear every other time. This is an indictment on the Controller of Budget because I do not know how these budgets are approved in the first place. There is money that is allocated, but we still find ourselves in this predicament year in, year out. This is something that we have to deal with as a House. We have to pronounce ourselves on this."
