    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Motion as amended. First and foremost, I want to thank and congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a job well done. I wish to thank the President for assenting to this Bill. Why do I support this Motion? Basically, the Committee has done us proud by including Kshs1.3 billion for Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC). It was not catered for initially, but the Committee saw the need to inject this money for the sake of our farmers. I also want to thank the Chairman for amending this Motion to include electrification. Where I come from, 80 per cent of the constituency does not have electricity. I believe that this Committee did a splendid job by increasing the funding for electrification. Maybe, during the next financial year, this House should move that we go the county way when it comes to public hearings. I believe that if we go that way, we will get diverse views because different counties have different needs. We need to capture this in the budget-making process. I support the Motion as amended."
