    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think Hon. Otiende Amollo has a very legitimate concern. This particular recommendation was anchored on re- allocations that had been done. You will appreciate that the original Report was to be tabled on 2nd June. However, we were not able to table the Report on that day because of particular amendments that we had not agreed on with the National Treasury. Part of those amendments related to funds provided for under the economic stimulus package for purchase of desks for schools and construction of classrooms for 300 secondary schools across the country. The understanding and recommendation by the Departmental Committee before was that these funds would be channelled through the national Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) but the National Treasury came and explained to the Budget and Appropriations Committee that the intention of the economic stimulus package in this instance was to have the funds centrally-managed under the Ministry of Education and deliver a full package of classroom and desks. It was, therefore, not feasible to have that particular amendment reflected in the Schedule. Thus you will not find money going to the NG-CDF for the 300 secondary schools for school desks. That is what necessitated that beautiful signature you see there, Hon. Otiende Amollo, which is my signature."
