    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker, I beg to second. From the outset, I want to say it very clear that Standing Order No.124 gives exemption to this kind of Bill. It allows all the three stages to be discussed in one sitting. I am sure all my colleagues would want to know that. The preparation of Supplementary Budget Estimates, both for Recurrent and Development budget had a request for additional funding of Kshs.356.8 billion. This amount is comprised of Kshs.149.7 billion for Recurrent Expenditure and Kshs.207.2billion for Development Expenditure. Despite the resource constraints and the need to curtail borrowing to have a sustainable level in both macro and micro-economic environment, the request from the various departments of Government, Parliament and Judiciary; the key areas have been rationalized. In this regard, only requests of high priority as well stipulated by the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee have been considered for funding under the Supplementary Budget Estimates. This Bill actually makes a provision for giving the statutory sanction for public expenditure. It is only after we deal with this Bill that the statutory function is complied with. The gross additional request considered in the Supplementary Budget Estimate is in excess of Kshs.121.8 billion, of which salary related expenditure was Kshs.16 billion, operation and maintenance was Kshs.12.7 billion and ongoing new projects is Kshs.93.1 billion. Some of the key specific expenditures considered in these Supplementary Estimates include, Kshs.4.6 billion to cater for the outstanding allowances for the Police and the Prison Services; Kshs.16.8 billion for salaries of teachers carried over from the Financial Year 2012/2013 and the harmonization of the commuter allowance, of Kshs.1.8 billion to cater for the shortfall of the second phase of the implementation of the 2010/2013 Comprehensive Bargaining Agreement (CBA). There is Kshs.2 billion to cater for the court award for health workers at the Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. An amount of Kshs.3.4 billion for security operations The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
