    "content": "Apart from that, we created a new State Department of Physical Planning in the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. However, we were also shocked; being a new State Department with a Principal Secretary (PS), it was allocated Kshs60 million only to run its affairs. We know that the State Department of Physical Planning is very critical in this country. They are not only involved in land matters, but also in everything. For proper planning of this country, the State Department of Physical Planning will play a very critical role. Through our able Chair, we reduced some monies from titling and allocated it to the new State Department. As a way forward, this is a new vote. We appeal to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the CS of the National Treasury to consider this new vote, so that they can be allocated their full request. They requested to be allocated Kshs1.5 billion. However, they ended up being allocated Kshs60 million only. Through the wisdom of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands, we raised this figure from Kshs60 million to Kshs200 million, so that they can kick-start their critical work."
