"content": "The Ministryâs total resource requirement for the financial year 2009/2010 was estimated at Kshs24 billion, out of which Kshs3.1 billion was to be utilized for Recurrent Expenditure while Kshs20.9 billion was meant for Development Expenditure. However, only a net total of Kshs20, 662,535,180 was provided for in the current Printed Estimates. The financing gap, therefore, amounts to Kshs3.4 billion. This year the Ministry intends to spend a net total of Kshs20,662,535,180 out of which Kshs6,301,035,000 is under Recurrent Vote and Kshs14,361,500,180 is under the Development Vote. Overall, the Ministryâs budget proposals reflect an increase of Kshs6,741,159,000. 20 over and above what was approved in 2008/2009. This proposed increase will mainly be used towards the funding of Population and Housing Census, Poverty Eradication Initiative, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) initiatives, Community Empowerment and Institutional Support Project Counter-Funding, CDF activities and Vision Delivery Secretariat. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Financial Year 2009/2010 in line with the programme based budgeting; the Ministry intends to continue funding its regular programmes but will also undertake to implement two crucial programmes. The first programme is the District Planning and Community Development which tries to enhance the standard of living for the rural population by providing social economic infrastructure and coordinating and implementing sustainable community based projects in rural Kenya. Under this programme, we have received funds from the African Development Bank to fund the five year community empowerment and institutional support project. The Ministry has allocated counterpart funds to support this project. The second programme is Coordination of Policy Formulation, Statistical Services and Implementation of Vision 2030. To facilitate the implementation of the above Ministerial programmes, I propose to spend Kshs6,301,035,000 under the Recurrent Expenditure on the following major areas. One is the District Planning, Kshs426,593,057, Research Macro-Economic Policy and Regional Integration, Kshs131,183,320, Infrastructure, Social Economic Policy and Planning, Kshs49,617,592, Monitoring and Evaluation Systems, Kshs138,861,066; Administrative Services, Kshs408, 794, 824. Under the Development Vote, I propose close expenditure of Kshs15,849,349,878 on the following major areas. Constituency Development Fund, Kshs12,358,300, Millennium Development Goals and Poverty Alleviation Initiatives, Kshs354,500,000. Environmental Management Initiatives, Kshs393,267, 366. Community Development Initiative, Kshs393,267,366. Community Development Initiatives, Kshs1,645,932,302. In addition, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I propose to make the following transfers to the Ministries, semi-autonomous Government agencies for them to effectively carry out their mandate. The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Kshs5,044,000,000; the National Coordination Agency for Population and Development, Kshs127 million; KIPPRA, Kshs116 million; NEPAD, Kshs43 million and Vision Delivery Secretariat 2030, Kshs129 million. As already noted above, the Ministry has the larger responsibility of overseeing the CDF activities, coordination and implementation of the Vision 2030. With regard to these two programmes, the Ministry has operationalized CDF Board and has established and operationalized the Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat."
