commissions not only dancing to the tune of the Executive, but also dancing at political rallies.

Programme - Senate Affairs, that should reflect a figure of Kshs6,436,543,470. That is just for clean-up. Since we are a House of records, it is good to notify the House and the public of that typographical error. General Administration, Planning and Support Services is under Vote 2043.
