    "content": "necessary that we pass this thing quickly so that the disbursement starts and we start to use the money. We also realise that it has affected some of the programmes, like the programmes of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). Hon. Ochanda said that we were able to save Kshs3 billion on the NG-CDF on the basis of the maths of 2.5 per cent. That is understandable but even then we need that money like yesterday, as Hon. Wanyonyi said. We need to start spending that money. Remember that our expenditure will always be after the Exchequer release. Therefore, if there is late Exchequer release to the NG-CDF, we are going to get bigger delays. We need to get going. I also support this Supplementary Budget because for once, we have heeded the request from the Judiciary. The Judiciary made a big plea. They came out and said that they cannot operate unless they are given adequate funds. This Supplementary Budget has done that. We need to support the Judiciary because our fight against corruption is dependent on the Judiciary, and we are beginning to see results. We hope that it will go forward and even get the funds that are hidden outside this country. We need to support the Judiciary."
