Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. As we are aware, the Constitution gives Parliament the oversight role of public expenditure by the Government and other State organs. Noting that the Office of the Auditor-General plays a critical support role in the proper functioning of the oversight role of Parliament, and considering that this role can easily be compromised for lack of capacity by Parliament and the Auditor-General, I request the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to provide a clear roadmap on how this oversight role will ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to urge the House to consider the petition brought before it by Hon. Kang’ata, which I really appreciate and want to associate myself with the problems that the poor parents and children from poor families face in this country. We also need to look into a situation whereby, as we try to provide or set aside money for provision of food in schools, we make parents aware that this country can never have everything being given for free.

On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir.
