    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As I support, I want to say that the budget-making process is supposed to help sustain our ministries and enable them to plan properly from their budgets. Even as we pass this, it is important to say this for the record. Before this, the KFCB was in the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage. The reason I am bringing this is because parent ministries where these programmes are housed should know that when we budget, we do so, so that these programmes can go on without interruptions. In the last financial year, we allocated money to this programme under Film Development Services, and the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage took close to Kshs11 million, which was to go to cinema mashinani or programmes similar to those my friend, Hon. Kiarie was talking about. They took it and used it for a national public holiday. So, how does a programme like this plan and have certainty when the parent ministry can divert money without referring the matter back to Parliament? As I support, I ask for fiscal discipline in our ministries. When we allocate money to programmes, they should not remove it because they will make the programmes suffer. There are constituencies which should benefit from this like Dagoretti and Mathare, and other places where cinema mashinani will keep our people from crime. They will benefit from it. I support."
