"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also do believe that Members have their copies of their Vote on Account, which they have, indeed, amended today and we are grateful for that. I am sure that they will also pay attention, as they have done, indeed, to the Estimates books and schedules which indicate the net allocation for each vote. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, taking cognizance of the fact that the Financial Year 2010/2011 will be coming to an end on 30th June, 2011, the authority that was granted to this House to withdraw funds from the Consolidated Services and apply those funds towards the provision of goods and services will, accordingly, end. In compliance, therefore, with the Constitution, the Government of Kenya is expected to continue to provide services and carry out other essential functions without interruption. It is, therefore, in this regard that, in accordance with the stipulation of Article 222 of the Constitution, Parliament is now being requested to authorize the withdrawal from the Consolidated Fund monies not exceeding in total one-half of the total net sums included in the estimates of Recurrent and Development Expenditure for the Financial Year 2011/2012, in order for the Government to continue to provide services required until such time as the Appropriations Act is enacted by Parliament. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the funds sought will be used for payments of salaries to public servants, meet operational and maintenance expenses under the Recurrent Vote, while those under Development Vote are to be used to implement development programmes. I would like to assure hon. Members that funds shall be utilized efficiently to achieve the purposes and provide services for which this House has approved. Financial discipline and economy will be our guiding principle to achieve macro-stability and facilitate the achievement of our development goals. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion, which we are calling upon Members to support and pass, will enable the Government to access funds that will be required by Ministries, departments and agencies to finance their operations at the commencement of the next Financial Year, 2011/2012 on 1st July, 2011. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the hon. Members again for their support and co-operation and, indeed, all the corrections that they have made."
