Final Part.
Kibet's word had just awoken majority
of MPs from slumber as Mr Kimunya took two hours going through
his Budget speech. They immediately doubted whether he, indeed
wrote the proposals and laughed off the Fiance Minister's decision
to quote Kibet.
The MPs had streamed into the House at 2.15 pm with a lot of excitement
premised on their expectations from the last Budget of the Kibaki
administration before the December General Election.
But as the plot of the scene kicked off - Speaker Francis ole
Kaparo walking into the House at 2.34 pm, Mr Kimunya at 2.37pm
and President Kibaki eight minutes later - certain things started
happening.
Of course Cabinet ministers, who are 24 in number, had scrambledfor
the seats on the front bench, which can only accomodate 24. Cabinet
ministers CharityNgilu, Noah Wekesa, Mukhisa Kituyi and Soita
Sitanda opted for the back bench seats.
A similar event was shaping on the opposition front bench which
compelled Mr kaparo to state: "Front Bench seats on my right
hand side are reserved for full cabinet ministers and immediately
on my left for shadow ministers"
AS Mr. Kimunya embarked on his speech the excitement died out
and a lull set in sleep, which has no respect for honourable members
even on the great great Budget Day started creeping in.
