    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the work they have done. I thank the Chairman and the Members of the Committee because we spent a lot of time putting in place the proposals contained in this Report. I have two amendments on this Motion but before I move them, I would like to make a few comments. When the President and the Deputy President were campaigning, they made a lot of promises to the youth. I want to thank them because in this year’s Budget, there is Kshs25 billion which has been provided for youth empowerment programmes. Before this money is utilised, we expect the Government to tell us how it will reach the youth in the constituencies. Therefore, I thank the President and the Deputy President for budgeting for the Kshs25 billion. The only question I have is how this money will reach them. Hon. Speaker, Sir, having said so, I beg to move the following amendments:- THAT, the Motion be amended by adding the following words immediately after the figure “2013”:- “subject to:- (i) deletion of the figure “Kshs3 billion” appearing on paragraph 41(1) and (2) and replacing it with the figure “Kshs2.75 billion”; and, (ii) introduction of new paragraph 41(viii) with the words “an amount of Kshs500 million be allocated to the Public Service Commission to meet expenditure of ongoing construction works and salary adjustments as approved by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission”."
