    "content": "Hon. Speaker, some of the key areas which are addressed by the Supplementary Estimates II, and which seek to address resources either spent by the Cabinet Secretary in accordance with Article 223 will be spent after we pass the Supplementary Appropriation Bill and the salary adjustments on account of implementation of the second phase of the job evaluation that is being carried out by the Government. Secondly, there are resources which were also meant for expenditures on drought mitigation by the Government. There was a drought, during which animals died. The water and food sectors were affected necessitating the fast-tracking installation of water systems for the affected communities and their livestock. The other important thing is payment of pending bills, which I am sure will do much in terms of rejuvenating the economy and improving circulation of money. There are a number of people who supplied goods and services to the Government. I thank the President for his directive that all pending bills be paid before the end of this financial year. Of course, there are elements of security-related expenditures. Security is a changing phenomenon. There are new challenges and every now and then, budgets must be re-aligned to ensure that our country is secured from both internal and externally threats. I am sure there are expenditures that relate to the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), the National Police Service, including the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI)."
