Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to give you a heads-up. A while ago, we talked about the young boys and girls who man our security in Parliament. You gave your undertaking, which we do not doubt, that all of them would be absorbed into...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) I apologise, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am sincerely sorry. That will not happen again. (Laughter)

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Chairlady, the budget-making process is very important. It is not right for the Hon. Member to say that we need to go through it quickly. Even if we take a month, we must interrogate the Budget in detail. There is nothing wrong with Hon....

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) As much as we are appropriating these finances to the State Department of Correctional Services, one of the President’s advisors recently made a very dangerous statement – that, people are buying positions to get into the Kenya Prison Service. That is a very dangerous thing....

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think we are taking this matter lightly and that is why the governors are taking us lightly. Everyone in this Republic knows that governors handle a lot of money, yet nothing happens. In my own county, Bungoma we get...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Murugara was not here when these issues were raised by Members. It is on that basis that I am clarifying that two Committees in the last Parliament reached a decision about this and up to now it has not been implemented. We are asking...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Speaker, we want to reject these Amendments in totality.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. Bearing in mind the fiscal space in which the country is currently operating, it is abnormal for anyone to propose an upward adjustment of these allocations. Therefore, I second Hon. Ichung’wah’s Motion to reject this proposal. We reject it.
