    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Recurrent Estimates, the figure Kshs85,406,547,019 be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure of Kshs84,606,547,019 and, THAT, the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Development Estimates, the figure Kshs12,740,500,000 be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure of Kshs13,140,500,000. This relates to a number of our public universities. Again, following consultation with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, we had to get about Kshs800 million. From the Recurrent Expenditure of the University of Nairobi, we got Kshs500 million. This was additional allocation. It still leaves the university with adequate funds. We were just giving additional increments. So, it is part of the additional increments that we had given them but taken it. We have taken Kshs100 million from the Recurrent Budget of Kenyatta University, Kshs100 million from the Recurrent Budget of Moi University and Kshs100 million from the Recurrent Budget of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). That raises a total of Kshs800 million. As I said, these were additional allocations which the Committee had raised from cuts of about 25 per cent on Recurrent Expenditure across the board in the State Department of Education. We raised those savings they had allocated to universities. Again, cognisant of the issue of TVET, we raised Kshs1 billion from the State Department of Education, being this Kshs800 million and a further Kshs200 million which we will encounter under the TSC for purchase of motor vehicles. I beg to move."
