    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to move this amendment because of the seriousness of the matter of the Kshs40 million for the National Gender and Equality Commission. The Kshs40 million for the National Gender and Equality Commission is actually not a new amount that is being added, or a new request for funds. This is an amount that was allocated to them in the Financial Year 2012/2013 for the purposes of partitioning their offices. The money was received by them, though on 2nd July, 2013. Therefore, they were not able to pay in good time for the partitioning of the offices. Therefore, the Kshs40 million was carried forward to this new financial year. But when they went back to the National Treasury, they were advised that they should reflect this amount in the Supplementary Budget. I would like to really say that the Budget and Appropriations Committee was not advised on this matter. It is not really a matter that it is at fault. It was reviewed by the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare where we sit but we were also not privy to the fact that, that money was actually already allocated to them and, therefore, it was not additional."
