Members will recall in the Budget reading that year, by the Cabinet Secretary(CS) in the National Treasury, we had a couple seated up there as guests of the Committee. We had Mohammed and Zainab.

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: they are the ones who build roads. Parliament does not build roads. Those are development projects.

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: That is a redemptive provision and that is why - and I will say it again - this is a storm in a tea cup with an agenda whose objective is not clear to me.
