miss its revenue, but the lives of Kenyans are being put on the line by the amendments that the Committee has put in place. Let us take note of that fact. I do not know whether Members were cognizant of that fact.

is at the county and ask: “How much money have you spent on this project?” You must be told as a member of public in writing that this particular project has cost this much.
