    "content": "(Ombui): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am the Member for North Mugirango, Borabu but for the next election, I will be contesting a seat in North Mugirango. I stand to support this important Bill. It is a Bill which is more important for implementation in this period of 2013. It is a good practice once the Supplementary Budget has been passed, it is important to have the Appropriations Bill. The Supplementary Budget is a merely allocation and it will not have any meaning without this Bill. With that understanding, I thank the Minister in the Ministry of Finance for bringing this kind of Bill so that there can be total implementation of the Supplementary Budget. We are now heading to elections and we need a lot of security within some areas or the entire country. I hope the Minister for Finance has catered for vehicles which will assist in alleviating insecurity in some areas within the Provincial Administration. We come from some areas where there is a lot of insecurity and lack of vehicles to assist the Provincial Administration to ensure that there is security and criminal activities are dealt with accordingly. I also look at the local government authorities which have been catered for. I think this operational Bill will take care of the workers within the authorities and so, there will be no fear of not getting their salaries at any time of the year. I hope they can now operate properly without any fear. It has been catered for in this specific Bill. If you look at the uncompleted projects, some projects were started in this financial year but they have been moving at a slow pace and, more specifically, in the road sector. I have a road in my constituency which was started in this financial year but it has hardly moved even two kilometers. I believe the Minister for Finance catered for those kind of roads which started in this financial year, but which have not been completed. There are many other specific services. I believe that the relevant Ministries will ensure proper implementation of this specific operational Bill and the Supplementary Budget. That is because once we have approved the Supplementary Budget and the Appropriations Bill, it is up to the Ministries concerned to ensure that the element of prudence is catered for while trying to implement the whole Budget. Otherwise, I thank the Minister and support the Bill."
