House as at the time he was speaking, I will take a short time to make my point in support of this Motion. No economy grows without borrowing. In fact, if you look at the data from the American economy, in 2018, American borrowing was at 77 per cent of the GDP. That is a debt that is moving towards 100 per cent of GDP. If we measure our debt by the percentage to the GDP, it grows scarier and scarier. Our GDP in 2018 stood at Kshs8.59 trillion. If you divide that by 50 per cent, you will see ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, without adding much, I want to state that SRC must note that in the case of staff of Parliament, their role is advisory.
