    "content": " Thank you. I am well guided, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This Report, which I have just tabled is basically about further amendments which were originated by the Treasury and the Ministry of Health on this Supplementary Appropriation Bill (No. 2) Bill, 2020. The amendments by the Treasury and the Ministry of Health are valid in the sense that as at yesterday, and considering that we were not able to release the ring-fencing funds, that is, the Ksh3 billion which this House appropriated for use in particular health facilities, the Ministry of Health identified Ksh2 billion within their votes which would not have been used by today for reallocation of Ksh1.5 billion to Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) for purchase of testing kits and Ksh500 million to Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) facilities to sort out the cost associated with quarantining those who had tested positive to COVID-19 at KMTC facilities. Hon. Deputy Speaker, further amendments include monies which have been used by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to the extent of Ksh1.9 billion. We need to tidy up the books by the end of the day. Those are monies which were applied courtesy of Article 223 of the Constitution. This House is aware of a massive project on land donated by Kenya Meteorological Department towards the housing agenda in the Big Four Agenda. The Government has chosen to apply for Ksh2,370,000,000 towards social infrastructure at that particular facility. That is money that has already been released. Again, this is 30th June 2020 and monies are applied for under Article 223 of the Constitution. We are begging this House to accept that amendment. 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."
