    "content": "I beg to move: THAT, the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Development Estimates, the figure Ksh.52,284,172,712 be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure of Kshs.50,784,172,712. As Members have noted, the energy sector is one of the key drivers of one of the pillars of the Big Four Agenda which is manufacturing. What the amendment seeks to do is reduce additional money that had been allocated. We had allocated an additional Kshs4 billion towards compensation of land. Upon rationalisation of our budget figures with the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, and in consultation with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy, it was realised we may not need all that money at ago. Therefore, we reduced the additional allocation. That still leaves us with a figure of Kshs39 billion under the Development Vote. It will be left towards transmission of power. I can guarantee that we have adequate resources to roll out the projects. This has been given top priority by the Government, being one of the Big Four Agenda under manufacturing. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
