"content": "The Sub-Vote caters for both personal emoluments and operating costs for support, vehicles and it is also allocated a total of Kshs732,602,805 distributed in the following three Expenditure Budget Heads:- 1. Head 147 â Development Planning Services, Kshs52,598,281. The allocation under this Head caters for the running of the Ministryâs Central Planning Unit. The unit compiles all statistical data for the Ministry. 2. Head 726 â Department of Research and Development Kshs84,043,838. The allocation will cater for both salaries and the administrative costs of the Department of Research and Development. 3. Head 831 â Headquarters Administrative Services, Kshs895, 710,630. All these Votes are well tabulated in what we have placed before the House and one can inspect them. They were distributed earlier on. However, I want to make the following observation: The allocations to the facilities, the universities and the constituent colleges are far below what is required for an effective training of our own development in the sense of the people we train to carry out the development. The Kenya Government has done it. However, I wish to record our thanks to CIDA, KESSEF, ADD, JAICA and United States of America (USA). In addition, contribution to our Government and development partners includes parents, community leaders, religious organizations and the private sector that has actually invested generously in the training of Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, while the Government does what it can to advance higher education in Kenya, I would like to pay tribute to all private sector participants in higher education, science and technology. For Kenya to develop, we must invest effectively in higher education, science and technology. The Ministry has worked hard and received financial support from external sources. We thank them. Although we are aware of financial constraints in our country, we must, nevertheless point out that our country cannot advance effectively with the current levels of funding for education and research, science, technology; research and innovations are prerequisites for development."
