Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence to appreciate the students who have visited Parliament today, in particular, those from Nyamondo Secondary School in South Mugirango.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) You will see them. I am talking about oversight. You will hear county government teams saying that they are not adequately funded, and that the national Government has refused to give them money. However, immediately the money hits their accounts, it is spent on...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Budget displays where the revenue comes from.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, is it in order for the Leader of the Minority Party to mislead the House that His Excellency the President has said that, “if you do not pass the Bill, you will know who I am?” Can he substantiate that claim?

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I stand guided. Hon. Beatrice Elachi and Hon. Anthony Oluoch were here. The rest were not here. You are talking about cutting down the Budget which is a prerogative of this House. Hon. (Dr.) Otiende Amollo, you were not here. Who else...
