    "content": "Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, instruct or tell whoever it is that clerks your pre-budget conference that it is directed. There should be a record of attendance of which departmental committees were present so that thereafter they do not come here to say we presented this or that. To whom did they do so? This is important. They must, therefore, attend. Nobody forces you to be a Chair of a committee. Just go where you will feel more comfortable whether it is looking after children, goats or cattle. Please, let the work of Parliament be done by those who are interested in doing it. We need seriousness in the House. If you do not have the capacity to sit through a conference, depute somebody who has the capacity or interest. We do not want a meeting as important as this to go unattended and then the next thing we hear is people coming here to complain that they appeared before the Budget and Appropriations Committee. You need to understand the framework within which those decisions will be made. Against what background will the decisions be made? We want the report of those who attend to be tabled here so that it will form the basis of the decision by whoever is in the Chair to deny them the opportunity to come and make unnecessary recriminations. Let us have Hon. Wamalwa."
