If you have a deficit of Kshs7 billion, you must rationalise where we shall get money from. With this kind of economic outlook, with the coronavirus epidemic and low revenue collection, please, particularly for Parliament and the Judiciary, do not give budgetary allocations you are not going to provide. Ordinarily, one of the things that make Kenyans very poor is what is called the credit card. I tell people that how you use your credit card and what is in your wallet is important. Always live by your wallet. If your wallet cannot buy you a cup of tea at the Intercontinental Hotel, just look for another restaurant where your wallet can afford to pay the bill.

Do not allocate money that you do not have to other institutions, Chairperson. You can see the national Government has reduced its budget by about Kshs200 billion. Hon. Speaker, the Report says:"
