    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the Kshs60 million allocated to Suswa-Ewaso-Kimuka-Ngong Road. Though it is not much, it is going to really do some work on that road and then, maybe, we will need to upgrade it later. The Kshs500 million that was given to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) is quite welcome and I appreciate. You remember we have the drought that is in and out. It is good time now we fully capacitate KMC and even support the abattoirs at the county levels to make that functioning. Finally, because of time, there is need to have one Huduma Centre in each and every constituency. You have allocated Kshs50 million for the recurrent expenditure and operation of Huduma Centres in Kenya. Maybe the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee should consider starting a Huduma Centre in each and every constituency. They have allocated Kshs46.8 million to the National Police Service to facilitate police vetting. To me, I think we can even withhold the vetting of police for this time during elections and put that money into policy coordination, support and planning of police services during this electioneering period. Police vetting can wait. The allocation to IPOA of Kshs200 million to establish offices can wait. We should not reduce what needs to go for operational purposes of the police during this electioneering period. I beg to support.
