    "content": "With regard to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the reasons that led us to adjust the institution’s Estimates, or to recommend adjustments to this House, was the fact that substantial resources were voted to this Commission through the Supplementary Estimates II for the Financial Year 2014/2015. The Supplementary Estimates have yet to come to this House. The allocations to the SRC in the Financial Year 2014/2015 have been escalated by 91 per cent, from Kshs441 million to Kshs840 million. The additional funds will be used to undertake the job evaluation exercise. The bulk of the allocation for the institution for the 2015/2016 Financial Year will amount to Kshs922 million, and will be used for the same exercise. We felt that it was prudent to reduce this very generous amount by Kshs200 million. If there are going to be any problems down the track, we can always sit and provide for more resources through a supplementary budget. With respect to the Judiciary, their absorptive capacity for the 2014/15 Financial Year was exceedingly low. As at 8th June 2015, the Judiciary had only absorbed 56 per cent of their total allocations, with the Development Expenditure having an absorptive capacity of less than 50 per cent. The Development Budget of the Judiciary for the 2015/2016 Financial Year was Kshs4.9 billion. In light of this, we proposed, and this House agreed that we reduce the Development Estimates of the Judiciary by Kshs800 million.
