    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I was summarising, and had undertaken to this House that we are now practising best practices. I want to assure the House that the funds that will be approved will be used for the purposes and services for which they are meant. Further, I confirm that in implementing the Act, we will be guided by the financial laws and regulations that are in force. The Appropriation Bill, 2007, contains the details of supply for each Vote, including the amounts that shall be applied as Appropriations-in-Aid (A-in-A). Mr. Speaker, Sir, Clause 2 provides for the issue out of the Consolidated Fund of the sum of Kshs449,038,426,260 and to appropriate the funds for various services and purposes during the financial year ending 30th June, 2008. This sum includes the amount authorised by Parliament on 21st June, 2007, during the Vote on Account in accordance with Section 101 of the Constitution of Kenya. Clause 3 makes provision for amounts to be applied as A-in-A for the various services and purposes. Having apprised hon. Members of the objects and reasons for the Bill, may I now request them to pass it in order to authorise the issue of funds from the Consolidated Fund to meet the expenditures as contained in the Recurrent and Development Estimates of the 2007/2008 Financial Year. October 2, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4255 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to thank hon. Members for the co-operation and hope that we are going to give this nation what it deserves. I also want to - as I mentioned to hon. Members - say that we are in the process of finalising the Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill and we will be bringing the amendments here as soon as they are all finalised. With those few remarks, I beg to move and request Ms. Karua to second."
