    "content": "(i) Additional conditional allocation financed by World Bank, to finance the emergency locust response project amounting to Kshs800 million. (j) Additional conditional allocation financed by World Bank, to finance the Kenya informal settlement improvement project II amounting to Kshs2.8 billion. (k) Additional conditional allocation financed by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) amounting to Kshs73 million. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is proposed that the allocation to counties is to be disbursed between May and June as outlined in the Schedule. I am sure you understand there was a delay in processing of this Bill between the Senate and the National Assembly. Everybody knows the history, which then occasioned the delay. During the consideration of the Cash Disbursement Schedule, the Committee observed that the Cash Disbursement Schedule for the additional allocation to counties, is being considered in May and yet the Schedule indicates that they were to be disbursed by 15th May. The Committee on Finance and Budget recommends that: 1. The county allocation Cash Disbursement Schedule be approved as tabled on 19th May, 2022. Noting that the time remaining for the Financial Year is less than a month. The National Treasury should fast-track the disbursement of Exchequer issues provided in the Act. As I conclude, the Committee acknowledges the contribution of the stakeholders who ensure the Cash Grant Additional Allocation Act 2022 was approved and consequently smoothly executed by the county government budget. I appreciate and thank the members of the Committee for their patience, sacrifice and commitment to the assigned task within the stipulated time. I also wish to thank the secretariat who are always helpful to ensure that the committees function successfully. I beg to move and request Sen. Faki to second."
