    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the net estimates of the Recurrent Expenditure amount to Kshs377,428,834,960 for which I am requesting for an approval of money not exceeding Kshs188,714,417,480 and that for the net Development Expenditure amount to Kshs190,291,145,287 for which again, I am requesting for the approval of monies not exceeding Kshs95,145,972,644. In this regard, I am requesting Parliament to authorize the withdrawal of a total of Kshs283,860,390,124 from the Consolidated Fund. The funds sought will be used for payment of salaries for public servants and to meet operations and maintenance expenses under the Recurrent Vote while those sought under the Development Vote are to be used to implement development programmes including the economic stimulus package for constituencies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a procedural Motion and I therefore, call upon hon. M embers to pass it to enable Treasury to release funds to line Ministries at the commencement of the new Financial Year on 1st July, 2009. In conclusion, I wish to assure hon. Members that the funds being sought shall be utilized efficiently for the purposes and to provide services for which this House has approved. Financial discipline and economy will be our guiding principles to achieve micro-economic stability and indeed, attain our development goals. We shall also continue to strengthen the capacity of Government departments at the district level so as to ensure and enable provision of timely technical support which is a requisite for the programme and project implementation and also for monitoring and evaluation. I urge hon. Members to enhance the utilization of the pool of skills and knowledge in order to enhance quality implementation of programmes and projects. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
