    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister says that the law has not been broken. I stand here as the Chairman of the CDF Committee that sponsored the amendments to the Finance Bill, which resulted into the Finance Act of 2009. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sequence of events is this. On 8th October, the Minister appeared before the Committee and agreed Treasury had released money to the Ministry, but it was going to hold it until the new law was enacted. In November, this House passed the Finance Bill. On 23rd December, the Finance Bill became the Finance Act. The letter that my deputy has just tabled, dated 19th February was addressed to the Clerk, and is only talking of Kshs1.05 billion. How can you now bring a breakdown of almost Kshs3 billion? This is a serious matter. We sponsored the amendment to address the mischief of giving some people more money for roads than others. The Chair cannot allow that to go unpunished."
