"content": "Survey and Mapping, national and special data infrastructure and updating maps, Kshs106,344,298, from the Exchequer and Kshs19,200,000, from donors and Appropriations-in- Aid. Construction of classrooms at the KISM, Kshs40,369,009, from the Exchequer. Rehabilitation and establishment of land registries, Kshs150,286,693 from the Exchequer. Land use planning (rural and urban), Kshs70 million from the Exchequer. Settlement Fund Trustee programmes, infrastructure development, Kshs50 million, from the Exchequer. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having outlined the programmes that my Ministry will undertake during this financial year, I wish to state that the funds requested will be utilised efficiently and effectively. The values of integrity, commitment, professionalism and customer responsiveness will be upheld in the delivery of services by the Ministry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have made available schedules for the Ministry's headquarters, Provincial and districts allocations which we have put in your pigeon holes. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I now seek the approval of this House for my Ministry to spend a sum of Kshs2,308,036,684 to finance both the Recurrent and Development Expenditures for the fiscal year 2008/2009. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to conclude by saying that land is an important asset for all of us. You have seen that from the Exchequer, we are getting hardly Kshs2.3 billion. In the following year, I seek your support for more resources, so that you may be able to access information from the registries. You will also be able to get title deeds and settle the poor and landless if you agree with me that this Ministry needs a lot more resources than it is getting. 1974 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 22, 2008 That is a meagre sum of Kshs2.3 billion. Some of the land that we had to purchase in the past years for the resettlement of the poor was costing more than Kshs1 billion, yet we are supposed to run this Ministry for all that we need on the basis of this sum of Kshs2.3 billion. So, I seek your support in this. We will come back to you and the Treasury when we need more funds. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move and request my friend, Dr. Wekesa, to second the Motion."
