    "content": "Hon. Members will recall the nurses had gone on strike and we had agreed with them that we will give them enhanced allowances. In this regard, we have provided for Kshs4.75 billion. There are other operation expenses of Kshs1 billion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are now changing foreign affairs missions from political to economic missions and, therefore, we need to support them. Hon. Members can see that the only areas where we decided to intervene are on payment of enhanced allowances for nurses and doctors; recruitment of the contract teachers and other additional teachers. We have also provided for support to the operation mounted by our soldiers in Somalia, which has really improved our security. The piracy rate has gone down and we have maintained the territorial integrity of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am, therefore, requesting the Members of this august House to support this Motion, so that we can continue with our development efforts. While I am here, let me also say that what has been published by the Media – that Treasury has abolished the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is not correct. We only said that there will be change in the name of the Fund. The same amounts of money will be voted for in the Budget Estimates for the next financial year."
