    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank mteja . Oh, sorry. I want to thank Mzee Wamunyinyi for giving us a very detailed discussion. The Supplementary Budget is within the purview of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning and the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Why can we not tell the two Committees not to bring us any Budget recommendations if the Kshs4.9 billion is not in the Supplementary Budget? The best thing to do, which we have previously done, is to remove some from the National Treasury and reallocate it to the NG-CDF is. The National Treasury will then have to look for ways of funding their own Ministry. That is just being tactful. We should not be crying here that we are not going to approve the Supplementary Budget. Why can we not just change it? That is why it comes to our Departmental Committees. These people are not taking us seriously. We have never increased the allocation of the NG-CDF in the same way we have increased the allocation of the county government devolved fund. For example, if we had increased the allocation to 5 per cent, at least 3 per cent would have been disbursed by now. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
