    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. On the outset, I want to support the Supplementary Estimates II of 2013/2014. I also want to commend the Committee for overseeing a good Budget. It is well thought through and well balanced, appreciating the circumstances under which we operate. There is never enough money for everything that we need. Strategically, the Committee is focused on the key sectors that have the potential of turning around this country’s economy. I also observed the bi-partisan approach that this Committee uses in its operations. The Chairman of the Committee moved the Motion and asked a high ranking Member from the Opposition, hon. Mbadi, to second it. That is how a mature parliament anywhere in the world should work. As leaders, there are so many issues on which we agree for the sake of this country. It is not always that we have to confront each, and not to listen to each other and move this country forward. I really appreciate the fact that we understand that aspect and request other Committees to emulate that good example. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Budget and Appropriations has not rewarded the non-performing Ministries. The budgets of those Ministries with low absorption capacities have been reduced. My own Committee has a list of Ministries which have not managed to absorb their Development Expenditure allocations. We have reduced the Budget allocations for those Ministries.
