"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This House has already approved Kshs363 billion towards infrastructure, energy and ICT; Kshs289 billion towards public administration; Kshs197 billion towards governance, justice, law and order; Kshs154.5 billion towards national security and Kshs112 billion towards health. There is a further Kshs268 billion allocated to other sectors which you will allow me not to enumerate, for purposes of time. In this Bill, one schedule is sub-divided into two parts so that it is very easy for Members to see allocations to the Central Government. The second part makes allocations to constitutional commissions and independent offices. I am alluding to the Bill already in the hands of Members. The Central Government has a total discretionary expenditure amounting to Kshs1,066,819,226,722. That sum comprises Kshs684,932,212,705 in Recurrent Expenditure. That amount is close to 70 per cent of the entire amount being appropriated with Kshs381,887,014,017 in net Development Expenditure. We are calling upon the implementing agencies, sectors and departments of Government to put all required effort so that they can absorb the entire amount allocated to the Development Expenditure. A further Kshs430,282,334,796 will be collected through Appropriations-in-Aid comprising of Kshs184,903,085,570 under the Recurrent Vote and Kshs245,379,249,226 under the Development Vote. This Bill also grants supplication for the several services and purposes specified as Appropriations-in-Aid amounting to Kshs431,514,434,796 as money directed to be applied as Appropriations-in-Aid under Article 206(1)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya. This brings the total ministerial discretionary expenditure to Kshs1,887,661,995,757. The passage of this Bill will authorise the issue of a sum of money out of the Consolidated Fund to meet expenditures for the national Government, Parliament and the Judiciary during the year ending 2021. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Members have already spoken on our Report and they also contributed during the Committee of Supply. I do not wish to spend more time on this, considering the business before us for the rest of the evening and into the night."
