reminding Sen. Cherargei not to make the late Ms. Tirop Nandi. I also tell Sen. Wetangula that he should not make her Kenyan because she was a global star. A story is told that one time, in the London 2012 Olympics, the them Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage, Hon. Paul Otwoma, had to be accredited as a personal assistant to one of the athletes so as to access the arena. That is how well celebrated our athletes are globally yet we do not think about them much locally. Madam Deputy Speaker, what happened to Ms. ...

Therefore, I hope we shall conclude on the process so that we resolve many of the issues that you have spoken to it. Their living conditions, how we receive them when they arrive, just celebrating them and ensuring that as an institution they are well respected. I hope we can do that before the lapse of the time of this Parliament.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am sorry to disagree with your proposal. This is perhaps the most consequential piece of work that we shall be doing this term in terms of rising up to the challenges we face as a nation.

To be on record for 10 minutes is not enough. If we manage to turn the tide and do the right things, this Report will be celebrated for having guided the country back to the correct path. In the unfortunate event that things go on as they are and we are taken over by other institutions, be it people we owe money or other countries, at

For that reason, allow me to have the fulltime that is needed because I know the amount of work the Committee on Finance and Budget has put in to get this Report before the House. This by the way, this is not enough. There is a lot we felt needed to be included in this Report. However, it was rounded off to one proposal which is giving the National Treasury the chance to come back to us within six months of the passage of this report with legislative proposals on how they want to do all these promises. These are ...

The gentleman, CS Yatani, has a soft voice, yet the things he and the teams he leader are doing are extremely hard to the economy. It is unfortunate because much as we want to blame the Executive, every stakeholder that appeared before us such as the CRA tell us that in the fullness of time, it will be said there was a regime that came and borrowed and threw all caution to the wind and never listened to anyone’s advice on how to manage the economy.

Over the years, there are two or three gentlemen who for the six or seven budget cycles always make a lot of sense when they appear before the Budget Committee. I forget the exact name of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO); that Abraham and two or three others. They appear before us and ask us these questions every time. You look and dress like intelligent people, but the things you do are stupid. Who in the world does the things you do? The previous year, you pass a budget with a deficit of Kshs400billion. One time, a young lady appeared before ...
