    "content": "and road networks, navigable waterways, modern and efficient ports and harbours, expansion of handling capacity in order to reduce cost in doing business in our harbours, enhanced competitiveness and a real commitment, especially by the President who is leading from the front, to get this country transformed to become a hub in every single way in this region. That is commendable but we would like to see some of the Vision 2030 flagship projects begin to move. We are glad to learn that the Lamu Port and Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport ( LAPSSET ) is getting attention and other Vision 2030 flagship projects. As I close, with respect to health, I would just like to say that in the Ministry of Health we need to remind ourselves that health is a devolved function and therefore when the national Government commits itself to certain undertakings, it is absolutely crucial that there is communication between the national and the county government. Harmonisation of the strategies being undertaken at both levels is crucial. Going back to the point that I made earlier, it is crucial to link the BPS and the County Fiscal Strategy Papers (CFSP) if we want to see this country grow. Hon. Speaker, I want to thank Members of my Committee. I do not think I need to go back to the numbers that I mentioned but I was struck by the depth of error communicated by some hon. Members with respect to the numbers that are before us today. I do not wish to say more but suffice to say, for example, that the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) is getting only Kshs26 billion and not Kshs28 billion. May I just add that some of these spending agencies have not even had the opportunity to present their case before the National Treasury, the PSC being one of them. As we have said and proposed, the Treasury will have the opportunity to take these recommendations into account while finalising the Estimates for the 2015/2016 Budget. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move and wish to request hon. Daniel Nanok, Member of Parliament for Turkana West, to kindly second. I thank you, hon. Speaker."
