    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I made notes, but I left them at home. So, I will just try to recall what I wanted to say in this House. I support the Supplementary Estimates, but with a heavy heart. In the last three financial years, we have had a lot of requests for Supplementary Budgets towards the tail-end of the financial year. I do not know whether the problem is with the National Treasury or whether the officers concerned are not using past experiences to come up with the right figures. I am lost because in the middle of nowhere, you find a Supplementary Budget. This may be the third Supplementary Budget this financial year. It comes towards the tail-end of the financial year when we are considering the Budget for the next financial year. It is either officers at the National Treasury are not doing their job properly or there is a bit of overspending, so that they find themselves with much more than what they had actually planned to do. So, with a heavy heart I will try to reconcile whatever they are asking for. All in all, I am a bit hesitant in adding more money. In the whole year, you have the budget process and you should know your needs, but in the middle of nowhere, you find a Supplementary Budget. Be that as it may, the proposal to allocate Kshs200 million to the KMC under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to buy coolers is little. It is important that we give them that money. The State Department of Livestock needed much more than Kshs200 million. They have been given Kshs200 million, which is not going to be enough to do that job. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
