    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Report. I also join my colleagues in congratulating the Budget and Appropriations Committee for being able to sit especially during this period. I know earlier we were a bit hard on the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on some issues, but I also congratulate them. The last week or two have been difficult and the circumstances in which committees are meeting are difficult. That they have been able to bring a Report and amendments to us is something that we need to congratulate them for. The COVID-19 period has taught us that in this country, the most important things are health, food and water. This is what Kenyans are going to look at in that Budget. As we go out there to tell them what we have done - as we were being accused of not doing anything - I would urge my colleagues to also spend a lot of time focusing on explaining the money that we have put into those particular areas. I know at this moment in time all of us are getting calls from our constituents about food, and people are scared about what is happening on employment, but it all comes down to being able to live and support their lifestyle."
