    "content": "State Department of Immigration, there is a Vote known as population services, and another Vote named population and planning. If those Votes were merged, we could save some money. The same goes for the Department of Irrigation and the Department of Water. Synchronising those departments would result in savings. Since this process began, the Head of State has proposed the scrapping of 40 parastatals, which I still see in these Supplementary Estimates. We need time to review this Report. The Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to address the issue of duplications and costs, and consolidate the funds that are allocated to the parastatals that are being scrapped. If we do this, we can achieve the Ksh400 billion that we are aiming for. Another important issue is the problem of pilferage. We can save a lot of money by closing all avenues of corruption. Today, the President addressed the issue of procurement. If we can close all those avenues, I strongly believe that we can be able to get the Ksh400 billion that is making us get to this arrangement where there is no money for development. Thank you very much."
