"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee, led by my brother, Hon. Sam Atandi, for the great job they have done. I take particular note of what the Chairman has communicated to us in regard to Vote 1091 on roads. He said that they have taken into consideration the need for equal distribution of resources to all parts of Kenya. He has promised to share a list on the same and so, I will be very keen to see that Nyamira County is considered in that distribution. I am also very happy that the State Department for East African Community Affairs has been allocated funds. On numerous occasions, they have been under-funded. The allocation is a good indication. On the Senate Oversight Fund, it is provided in the Constitution that both the National Assembly and the Senate perform oversight function. We need to look at this Fund again. If we are not all getting the Oversight Fund, then let us not get it. It cannot only be one House that is getting that Fund yet we perform the same functions. That goes against the grain of the Constitution. Let us just agree to be satisfied with the current salary that we have but, if the Oversight Fund is going to anyone, then it should be to both Houses. If not, everyone should miss out on it. I thank you."

"content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also add my comments on the passing of the Budget. This is an opportunity for Kenya to utilise this year's Budget in many ways. It is a Budget that has given us a sense of equity. As we look forward to this Budget’s utilisation, most of the monies we have allocated will impact Kenyans in many ways, specifically on electricity, the Social Health Authority (SHA), and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET). As we pass it today, I urge Kenyans to embrace this Budget because it is owned by all of us. To the beneficiaries of this Budget, we will work towards building this country together. Thank you."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice. I think it is a critical time for the country, especially when we are doing such allocations. Departments like the Ministry of Health are very critical for mothers across the country. Right now, we have a crisis of vaccines. I speak as a mother and so, I am very happy when I see that the Ministry of Health has also been allocated the amounts of monies that are needed to support it. Equally on security, I come from a region that has a lot of security issues and so, I speak as somebody who has vested interests. It is very important that we support our police officers and the security teams, so that we can address issues on abductions and insecurity in our regions. Thank you.

"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a good job. In particular, I appreciate the amount of fairness and the manner in which they have tried to address the issue of equity in the distribution of resources. When I look at the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and sports, I see sports academies spread across the country with, of course, one in Teso South. That is a very good job. My only plea is to the ministries. Most of these monies have gone to the ministries as a block figure for them to distribute to the various programmes and priorities within their sectors. Please make sure that you distribute this money taking into consideration all parts of the country so that each part of this country can feel the development that the Government is doing. Additionally, the committees, especially the departmental committees, should each take their roles seriously to make sure they carry out oversight. It is true that we are not making very good use of the audit reports. We need to take up the audit reports, do our oversight, assess the status of completion of projects and, if possible, visit those projects. I thank the Committee. In the road sector, we are looking forward and we will be following keenly to see how the roads have been distributed across the country. I am also very happy that for the first time, again, in Teso South, the Butula-Nambale-Amukura-Amagoro Road will be done. Thank you."
