    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, like my colleagues who spoke earlier on, stand to oppose 644 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 25, 2006 this Motion. I do not want to belabour the point that this country cannot develop if we continue to spend most of our meagre resources, merely in consumption; when we put too much money in Recurrent Estimates at the expense of development. Therefore, looking at the Supplementary Estimates, one is saddened that we are reducing the very little we had provided for in the Printed Estimates. When you look at the Printed Estimates, you will see that we had allocated Kshs69.3 billion for development as opposed to Kshs229 billion for Recurrent Expenditure. That constituted 23 per cent of the amount for development and 77 per cent for Recurrent. If this House passes the Supplementary Estimates, the net effect will be reducing Development Estimates from 23 per cent to 21 per cent and increasing the Recurrent Estimates from 77 per cent to 79 per cent. That has the effect of reducing several development projects which were in the approved Printed Estimates."
