    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to thank the Members for their good contributions, and especially for sticking to the point on the Supplementary Budget Estimates III. They did not digress. It is exciting that a Report that was tabled this afternoon has been read by Members. I have taken note of issues that we did not capture during the Report writing because we did not get time to listen to committees’ chairpersons. I have heard the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Energy who has talked of the Kshs1.1 billion, which has been spent through Article 223. Also, I heard Hon. Junet lobbying the House to approve all the payments that have been made under Article 223, so that as we start the new financial year next week, we will have closed the books of the FY 2019/2020 properly. To that extent, the Committee that I now preside will look at the submissions made in this House by Hon. Gikaria and the extra information we have received from the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on Kshs9 billion, which has equally been paid using Article 223. More importantly is the Kshs2.37 billion that has been paid to the Social Housing Programme around Mukuru Slums. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you and Members must have read in our Report that, that amount is basically for “Kazi Mtaani”, that is going on in that area. When we shall be moving the Appropriations Bill on Tuesday, next week, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
