    "content": "various Committees to play their role to make sure that these funds are put into their intended purposes. Mr. Mbadi talked about the need of going forward to have allocations done on the basis of priority as opposed to a lump sum of 50 per cent. The same was said by Mr. Kathuri. We take that into consideration. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Jirongo talked of inflation. Inflation is indeed an area of concern. I want to assure him that the days of Goldenberg are over and there is no such intention of going back to such days. The others were all about the Constitution. If, as the Chief Whip has said, there are problems with the implementation both of Kazi kwa Vijana and the stimulus programme, we need to work together. This is because the framework especially for the ESP was developed jointly with Members of Parliament. Mr. Letimalo talked on the issue of additional funds, I think once he goes through the estimates he will see that we have indeed provided additional funds for School Feeding Programmes in ASAL and drought hit areas. He will also take note that with regard to water, which we also have considered a priority in this Budget, this is the largest allocation for water ever made in any Budget in the Republic of Kenya. Again, we have given priority to ASAL areas. As he said, there is need to establish the resource for an allocation of about Kshs400 million for the Livestock Fund, again, aimed at ensuring that communities hit by drought are able to restock at a later date. With those few remarks, I want to thank Members for their contribution and to say that their comments will be taken fully into account. I beg to move."
