    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that we had requested for a budget of Kshs30 billion. It was not possible for us to be given that amount of money. All the same, what we have from the Government coffers is only Kshs1.75 billion. Half of that money - Kshs700 million - will be received in the next half of this financial year. We made efforts, for example, through a harambee presided over by His Excellency the President. We managed to raise some money. That is how we ended up with a total of Kshs1.965 billion. I believe we were not given enough. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, however, because of the demands of the Grand Coalition Government, and with the many Ministries that we have, I have to make do with what I have. I hope that this House will have an opportunity to actually--- Hon. Members here represent people and some of them are IDPs. As I talk to my colleagues in the Treasury, they have accepted to add us some more money. So, we are expecting about Kshs1.7 billion from the Treasury. That money will also help us to resettle those people. It is true that the money is not enough, but it is easier for all of us to work together to make sure that whatever we have is utilised well, so that it can be enough for everybody."
