    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, when someone has eaten and you have some food on the table, the next worrying thing is their health. Among the policies that we made is that every Ministry should ensure that the first charge within their budget is anything to do with the pending bills. We were able to allocate Ksh300 million for Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation because in the main budget, we will have Ksh50 million per constituency. We, therefore, thought it prudent for us to give them Ksh300 million to start preparing the infrastructure so that when this money comes on board, they would absorb and assist us in our constituencies. They would also ensure that different committees and constituencies absorb the money and utilise them in the development of infrastructure needed to help our people especially, on the last mile with the issue of transformers and street lights. The last one was the school feeding programme for primary schools. We made sure that there would be money for food for our primary school children because for us to retain our students in schools, it is important to ensure that they have a budget. Some of these children sleep hungry at homes and they go to school because they are sure of a plate of food. We did a good job, and I want to congratulate the Budget and Appropriation Committee. I am a Member of the Committee, and therefore, I support. Thank you very much."
