    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the option or raising additional revenue through higher taxation is not feasible in the middle of a financial year. The Government is left with very limited options to fund the above requirements. Given the current state of affairs, additional expenditure is being financed through existing contingency, differement of some projects that are unlikely to start this financial year, reallocation of budgeted provisions, across the board expenditure cuts and we are going to borrow an additional Kshs30.7 billion. That means that we have no financial gap. Our budget is fully catered for. With these highlights, I, therefore, wish to thank hon. Members and request them to support this Motion. To conclude, when Kenyans were enjoying themselves during Christmas and the New Year, the Minister for Finance and the Treasury officials were in office trying to come up with this Supplementary Budget. I have never seen in the long history of this country that so few people have sacrificed so much for the welfare of so many. I beg to move and request Mr. Isaac Ruto to second this Motion."
