    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The preparation of the 2008/2009 Budget Estimates has not yet been finalised. According to the indicative Treasury ceiling, the Ministry has been allocated Kshs3.027 billion for the Development Vote. The indicated amount falls short of our requirement, which amounts to Kshs3.526 billion. However, an appropriate proportion will be allocated for the development of new districts intended for creation in accordance with their requirements. (b) No money was set aside for the new districts during the Financial Year 2007/2008. However, the Ministry requested for some money to create basic facilities for districts whose April 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 617 intention to create has been gazetted awaiting Parliamentary approval. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to date, a total of Kshs18,200,000 has been utilised under the Recurrent Vote. In addition, Kshs162,360,000 has been allocated under the Development Vote for refurbishing and the improvement of the existing physical infrastructure in the new district headquarters."
