"content": "provision of sanitary towels to school girls should be implemented through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund for effective monitoring and evaluation. The Budget and Appropriations Committee also proposes the following financial recommendations: With respect to reallocations, many Departmental Committees proposed reallocations which were based on their assessment of needs and were also based on the discussions that these Committees held with the various MDAs. After a careful review, the Budget Committee has approved and recommended, to the largest extent possible, to this honourable House, those shown under the Second Schedule as hereby attached. In addition, we have agreed with the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing to reverse the proposed reduction of funds of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia (LAPSSET) Corridor Project and subsequent redistribution of resources, as LAPSSET is a key Vision 2030 project. With respect to additions, my Committee recommends that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) be allocated Kshs200 million to cater for pending bills. This will be met from the allocation of public hearings under the Ministry of Finance. My Committee also recommends that the Lake Basin Development Authority be allocated Kshs1 billion to cater for the pending bills arising from the construction of the Lake Basin Mall Complex. With respect to the inter-votary allocations, my Committee agrees with the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to shift Kshs470 million from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to the National Government Affirmative Action Fund for the purchase of sanitary towels for schools girls. This will enhance efficiency in the implementation of this programme through a framework under the affirmative action fund. With respect to the Judiciary, my Committee recommends that the budget of the Judiciary be within ceiling as given by the National Treasury. The Judiciary should therefore limit their expenditure as follows: 1. Recurrent expenditure – Kshs13,432,535,272, which includes an additional Kshs50 million for the Transport Licensing Appeals Board and Kshs70 million for the National Council for Law Reporting. 2. Capital spending – Kshs4,128,900,000, having been adjusted downwards by Kshs70 million to be allocated to the National Council for Law Reporting. With respect to the Parliamentary Service Commission and the National Assembly, that is Vote 2041, my Committee recommends that the capital budget for PSC be limited to Kshs3,150,000,000 achieved through the deferment of land acquisition for the Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Training (CPST). The net recurrent for this vote should be limited to Kshs11,726,950,001, achieved through adjusting of domestic travel allowances paid as part of salary as well as the deferment of Kshs500 million for monitoring and evaluation until a regulation framework is fully agreed upon. With regard to Vote 2042, National Assembly specifically, my Committee recommends that the funds allocated to this vote be limited to Kshs21,166,033,200 by adjusting personnel emoluments to be in line with the annual growth rate of the 2016/2017 baseline. Finally, the Budget and Appropriations Committee recommends that this House resolves to: (a) Approve the Report and recommendations of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Budget Estimates for the national Government, Judiciary and Parliament for the Financial Year 2017/2018; (b) Approve that Schedule 1 as amended and included in today’s Order Paper forms the basis of the Appropriations Act, 2017/2018; and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
