    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also join my colleagues in supporting the Supplementary Budget I, 2024/2025. It is in the history of Kenya that we are processing a Supplementary Budget a month after the signing into law of the appropriation Budget. This is a result of the Finance Bill that the President did not sign into law, which occasioned a deficit in supporting the entire budget. As the Chairperson has alluded to, despite the challenges that are there, the financial gap and the deficits, the Budget strives to ensure that the 46,000 JSS teachers who have been working on contractual terms are confirmed on permanent and pensionable basis. On intern doctors who have been on the streets demanding to be posted, this Budget has provided funds to ensure that they are accommodated on the payroll. There are doctors and medical workers who were contracted during the COVID-19 pandemic and have been working on contractual terms. This Budget has provided funds to ensure that they are also absorbed on the payroll. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Budget provides for fertiliser subsidies, which will go a long way in ensuring that this country is food secure. This Budget has also provided money for the NG- CDF programmes and projects. Despite the loss of about Ksh10 million on that account, the funds are available to support the NG-CDF projects for this financial year.
