    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that can only be a guess. I would not want to venture into the historical perspectives or what might have transpired on this matter. But let me put the record straight; the Accounting Officer is one of the officers in my Ministry and he did his duty by including this in the Printed Estimates. It is only the working sector group within that aspect of the Budget that removed this Kshs450 million expenditure, which was to be incurred in the purchase of the chancery in Kampala. But I have already said that we will pursue this matter. We recognize the importance of Uganda as a trading partner and also the fact that we are spending close to Kshs1.015 billion for leasing residences and about Kshs398 million for chanceries, giving us a total of Kshs1.414 billion. We think that this trend is unsustainable, hence the clear decision that we will continue purchasing our chanceries where it matters most, and Uganda is such a chancery which matters most to us."
