    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Chair of the Liaison Committee, I wish to reiterate that while preparing these Supplementary Estimates, the National Treasury received requests for additional expenditure amounting to over Kshs130.2 billion. Due to financial constraints, these requests were rationalised and harmonised and only key ones were considered for funding in terms of major allocations. These included salary related expenditure of Kshs9.4 billion, recruitment of 10,000 police constables at Kshs2.2 billion and other security interventions at Kshs7 billion. These includes our forces in Somalia, multi- agency war against corruption, the different arms including the EACC, Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Controller of Budget, Financial Reporting Centre and the purchase of land for squatters at the Coast at Kshs1.3 billion. Of course, Kshs1.5 billion was put in."
