Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to effectively and efficiently provide services to the public in line with the vision, mission and mandate, my Ministry has six distinct departments which are coordinated at the Ministry headquarters. These are:- (i)Performance contracting. (ii)Efficiency Monitoring Unit. (iii)Public Service Transformation Unit. (iv)Inspectorate of State Corporations. (v)Administration and Planning. (vi)Prime Ministerâs Delivery Unit. The net estimates for Vote 48 are Kshs1,110,572,140, of which Kshs1,065,632,140 is for Recurrent Expenditure, while Kshs44,940,000 is for Development Expenditure. Those funds were utilized as follows:- Hosting the Kenya We Want Conference. The purpose of hosting that conference was to give Kenyans an opportunity to indicate what direction the country should take in terms of socio-economic and political development, especially after the post election violence. The money was also used for the implementation of public sector reforms. It was used in conducting performance contracting for all Government Ministries and Departments, including state corporations; undertaking inspections and audit of State corporations; conducting investigations of cases reported in Government and its agencies; undertaking efficiency audits for State corporations, Government departments and agencies, and the expenses of the Mau Forest Taskforce and its committee meetings expenses. As you are all aware, the report of the taskforce has already been laid on the Table of this House and now awaits debate. The money was also used in setting up and operationalizing the Climate Change Coordination Unit. We should be notified of the need to address that important aspect which is negatively impacting on the performance of our economy. Drought and hunger are now a reality in our lives and, as we move forward, that unit will play a crucial role in addressing those maladies. Then, of course, the money was used in coordinating the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme and organizing finance and investment conferences. The Development Expenditure, on the other hand, was used for capacity building, reforms and institutionalizing rapid results initiatives. There was also the completion of the refurbishment, partitioning and furnishing of offices for the Efficiency Monitoring Unit. Please, note that the absorption capacity of the Office of the Prime Minister for the 2008/2009 Budget was 97 per cent for Recurrent Expenditure and 94.3 per cent for Development Expenditure. In the preparation of Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) Budget for 2009/2010, the Government adopted a programme-based budget. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me now explain how we will utilize the funds for the 2009/2010 Financial Year. An amount of Kshs1,667,632,932 has been allocated to my Ministry in the current Financial Year 2009/2010. The net estimates of the Office of the Prime Minister for Financial Year 2009/2010 amount to Kshs1,275,200,000, as compared to the net provision of Kshs1,065,632,140 for the Financial Year 2008/2009. That reflects a net increase of Kshs209,567,860. The net"
