Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the amendment. I will also join my colleague in commending the Budget Committee for a job well done but it appears the last amendment is an afterthought. I am saying it is an afterthought because when you look at Article 241 of the Constitution it is not mandatory that the three branches must be separated. It is very clear that it will be a disservice to the defence forces if we do this. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is going to create chaos in the military. This is going to destroy ...

Since there is quite a number of people who would like to be in the Senate, this is in order. We must prepare well for the new Senate.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other important amendment arises from the opinion that the Budget of the Ministry of State for Defence should be separated, instead of retaining the current one huge Vote amount. This raises the issue that the Government is overspending on defence matters. If the budgets for the Kenya Army, the Kenya Navy and the Kenya Air Force are separated, Parliament will be in a position to know exactly how much money the Government is spending on each of the three units of the national defence forces.
