"content": "For the State Department for Heritage, in the Financial Year 2018/2019, it has been allocated a total of Kshs3.799,900,000 which comprises of Kshs2,948,300,000 recurrent expenditure and Kshs851,600,000 development expenditure. This is against the requirement of Kshs9,219,200,000 of which Kshs5,729,800,000 is required for recurrent expenditure and Kshs3,489,400,000 for development expenditure. This shortfall is also likely to occasion delay in the service delivery and timely implementation of projects in that Department. Recently, the Ministry of Tourism was lumped together with wildlife sector. In this Ministry, the Committee oversees one programme known as Tourism Promotion and Development. The resource requirement for this programme in the Financial Year 2018/2019 is Kshs13,747,000,000, of which Kshs5,612,000,000 is meant for recurrent expenditure and Kshs8,115,000,000 is meant for development expenditure. However, only Kshs5,288,000,000 has been allocated to the programme where Kshs2,668,000,000 is meant for recurrent expenditure and Kshs2,620,000,000 is meant for development expenditure. Tourism being a very productive sector of the economy and a major foreign exchange earner and enabler to the attainment of the Government’s Big Four Agenda and a contributor to the economy, there is need to revamp the sector in order to realise the unexploited potential. We support the Report. Thank you."
