    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I reply, I just want to assure Members that we have heard you, that next time we should not see a Supplementary Budget III in this House. In our meeting with the National Treasury, we told them it is next to bad manners to have a supplementary three on 30th June when it is the end of the financial year. Therefore, those sentiments have reached and we understood their situation that this particular time it was because of COVID-19. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, COVID-19 comes with its own challenges. At a meeting with the Principal Secretary for Health, we noted that other than the Kshs500 million to KMTC, we need money urgently, namely, Kshs200 million which we could not provide in this supplementary, towards educational institutions like Moi Girls Secondary School, Nairobi, Nairobi Primary School and Nairobi School which are centres of quarantine. That Kshs200 million is required so that by September, if schools reopen, those schools will have done massive refurbishment including fumigation of facilities and paying bills. The schools have used their resources to pay bills while attending to the quarantined patients. Hon. Deputy Speaker, with your permission, allow me to donate some minutes to Hon. (Dr.) Mutunga."
