Fourthly, the Senate is going against the Public Finance Management Act, which provides that 2 per cent of the funds given to them can be used for emergency purposes. They are now creating another Kshs4.4 billion without telling us where that will come from. The fund is already allocated by giving a percentage of what can be used for an emergency fund.

Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to comment on His Excellency the President‟s Address to the House on the state of the nation. Listening to what the President went through, it would appear that he knows what is going on in this country. He went through it, gave us the status of the economy, he looked at his flagship projects, touched on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project, the LAPSSET project and Huduma Kenya.

With regard to irrigation, I did not hear him say anything about irrigation. I wonder what will happen to some promises on irrigation plan that the Government gave, more so in the lower River Nzoia area, and the road currently being made from Siaya to Nyadorora. The irrigation project was supposed to facilitate flood mitigation.

Secondly, His Excellency the President gave us the status of the economy, but he failed to tell us how the very robust economic fundamentals will lead to poverty reduction, reduction in inequality and employment creation.
