    "content": " Thank you Chair. With regard to the two issues raised by Hon. (Prof). Oduol and Hon. Martin Owino, the Marine Transport under the Treasury is mainly the ports and their services. The maritime remains in transport. It is essentially policy. There was an Executive order that created the Kenya Transport and Logistics Network. It brought the port, the rail and pipeline under ICDC. It brought all of them under the Treasury. That is the programme that is under the National Treasury that read essentially the port. On the other matter raised by Hon. Martin Owino, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning had reallocated, inadvertently, Kshs6 billion from the National Treasury. It had taken away from various programmes because it was not clear at that point what exactly the money was funding. Later on, we came to learn that it was for police vehicles, contingency funds, the Equalization Fund, some salaries and so on. After discussion between the Committee in charge of planning and the BAC, we agreed to reinstate the money. Removing it will adversely affect the programmes that were affected by that move. So, it is not an addition. It is simply reinstating what we had removed."
