    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2015 taking into consideration the fact that we are a State that should be meeting its obligations in time. A lot of this money is being spent on salaries and obligations for goods and services that have been consumed. It is only good that we take care of the liquidity of this country by being a nation that pays for goods and services in time. I also note that Kshs350 million shall be spent for cash transfers to the least advantaged people in this country. That is something that spreads across all constituencies. The Kshs1.29 billion being spent for emergency interventions, considering the problems that we have in places like Mombasa, is something that also needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. Hon. Speaker, there is also money for infrastructural development, especially in universities under Vote D139. I would like to point out that Kshs1.193 billion has been allocated to universities to complete ongoing infrastructural projects. Even the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has been allocated Kshs946 million for payment of services offered with regard to on ongoing projects. We are going into elections and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) should act fast to ensure that we have a free and fair election when The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
