    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill because the Jubilee Alliance Party will not be in power come August 2017. I have looked at the Appropriation Bill. The money available for the Government to use is Kshs1.2 trillion. You are aware that we had a Budget of Kshs2.6 trillion. When you look at the supply and the appropriation-in-aid (A-in-A), we are extremely short of the money promised in the Budget read by the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury in terms of the activities they want to carry out. They fall far short of what will be done in this country in all the sectors except the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). I have looked through the figures. The figures which tally with what we heard in the Budget Estimates are those of the IEBC. All the other sectors have been affected. The amount has drastically reduced. I have checked. When you look at the Budget Estimates, the Appropriation Bill and the A-in-A - which is revenue generated by various organisations excluding donor funding - when you put it together, you find that we fall short of what was in the Budget. I have tremendous respect for my Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. This Budget is not adding up. When you look at the figures which are in the Budget Estimates and what we have as the Appropriation Bill, which is the true position the country is in, it falls far short. The only institution they promised to give funds to the IEBC. There has been talk of infrastructure, especially roads. I have looked at the money available for roads in this country. What is available for roads is Kshs81 million while the A-in- A is Kshs53 million. This money will be used after July. It will not be used before July. The message should be very clear to Kenyans.
