    "content": "On gender-based violence cash, the money is there. We moved it from the Ministry of Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage. It is now with Parliament under the Parliamentary Vote. There should be a way through which the money will be disbursed. I know Parliament is very careful on this, but the money is under the Parliamentary Vote. Again, there is a question on sanitary pads, on which I do not want to repeat myself. Finally, Hon. Keynan asked about prioritisation. My strength is in cash flow management. I try so hard to balance things. That is why you will not hear that we cannot pay salaries or have not released capitation money. People will just complain but before the term ends, we released all the money because there is a programme in place. On the NG-CDF, I guarantee you that there is a programme. We will make sure that the entire amount is disbursed, challenges notwithstanding. The same applies to the county government funds. The only outstanding Exchequer request for development funds is Ksh54.3 billion, and we have a plan to release that money. Therefore, in terms of prioritisation, we are up to it. We are working on it and we will ensure that we implement the Budget as you appropriated it. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
