    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to support the Report on the 2024 BPS from the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I also congratulate the Committee and the departmental committees for the good work that they have done. I particularly support the employment of teachers who are interns. They have been having problems trying to find out from their Members of Parliament on how they can be employed on permanent and pensionable terms. With a budget set aside for that, they will now be absorbed. Hon. Speaker, I also congratulate the Kenya Kwanza Government for the countrywide electrification plan. This is very important to Members because we have challenges with electricity connectivity in our constituencies. Currently, technology has improved and everyone requires electricity. Therefore, it is very important that we power the whole country. So, we welcome the plan. I would like to caution that funds should be used in the right way. Where possible, we should also talk about the plans in place to ensure that the pending bills are paid. We also need clear guidelines on how the money will be used for the intended purposes. That will help reduce the taxes that Kenyans pay and ensure that the money is used in the right way. Hon. Speaker, with those remarks, I support the Motion. Thank you."
