    "content": "7. We propose to reduce allocations to the National Treasury meant for budget reserves amounting to Kshs5.3 billion which ought to be reflected in the appropriate item in the budget as it is a fund meant for specific purposes within the Development Budget. In simple language, this is the right amount in the wrong place. With regard to expenditure increments, the expenditure cuts, as I have announced, are targeted to curb non-priority use of public resources and expenditure increments are informed by core needs identified through the concrete effort by my Committee, as well as submissions from the Departmental Committees. I take this opportunity to thank these Committees and their respective chairpersons. With regard to increase in expenditure, I wish to mention the areas where expenditure increases and reallocations should be made. i. An additional allocation of Kshs100 million be made to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure for the construction of Gotu “Killer” Bridge – it is called the killer bridge in Isiolo. These funds were allocated in the Printed Estimates following a resolution of the House, but were eventually left out. I was privileged to lead a team from my Committee to Isiolo last year and we resolved to support funding of this bridge. We now wish to see this process of getting this bridge done start."
