    "content": "Sorry for that. The Supplementary Budget supports all Kenyans especially those who are marginalised and suffering in different ways. Under the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock in Recommendation No.36, we see the provision for livestock farmers in ASAL areas, which we appreciate very much because of the ongoing drought that has led to the suffering of livestock farmers and the loss of many animals. The provision for the increment will help them. Secondly, under the Departmental Committee on Social Protection in Recommendation No.37, the Committee noted the additional Ksh56 million that has been allocated. We know that Woman Representatives have been suffering because we do not have county coordinators. Due to lack of funds, we have not been very effective on the ground, but the additional funds that we have been given will help us to implement our work and be more effective. We note very well that even under the education sector, the school feeding programme will take care of students, especially those from ASAL areas where many families are suffering because of hunger and children under five years of age are malnourished. We also realised that many people are looking forward to the implementation of the school feeding programme. Under the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation, the Maji Nyumbani Programme, which will ensure that 10,000 households have running water and will also employ over one million people, is another exciting programme that many Kenyans are looking forward to. Before I finish, we know that many Kenyans are suffering because of pending bills. Many people who invested their money in projects that have been ongoing in the counties have been suffering, but if we adopt the Supplementary Estimates, they will get help. Housing projects will be implemented in every constituency. Every constituency will have 100 housing units and an additional Ksh8 billion will be allocated to cater for housing. That is acceptable and we will receive it with a lot of joy. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I cannot continue under pressure, but I support the Motion."
