"content": "gap of Kshs7,827,820,180. This resource gap will seriously affect the operations of the Ministry. The key Ministerial activities that will be affected by this shortfall include co- ordination of the Kazi kwa Vijana programme, operations of the Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat, establishment of South-South Co-operation Regional Centre and operationalisation of the newly created District Offices, starting of Knowledge Management Africa (Kenya Chapter). Also to be affected include development of more rural resource centres for most of the new districts, provision of transport, equipment and reactivation of facilities for TBOs’ offices, and the counterpart funding for the Western Kenya Community Programme to be funded by the Government of Finland. Others include the implementation of the T21 Macro-economic Model, Kenya’s participation in the high-level UN Summit for Heads of States this year, which will focus on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); participation in the NEPAD and APRM activities, operations and up-scaling of the Poverty Eradication Commission activities, and Repositioning of the Family Planning Programme in order to bring the population growth under control. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in line with the programme-based budgeting, the Ministry has proposed to implement four programmes. The first programme is the District Planning and Community Development, which strives to enhance the standards of living for the rural population by providing social-economic infrastructure and co-ordinating and implementing sustainable community-based projects in rural Kenya. Under this programme, we intend to finalise the Central Kenya Dry Areas Community Projects, accelerate the implementation and achievement of the South Nyanza Community Development Projects and roll out the Community Empowerment and Institutional Support Programme. In addition, the Ministry will initiate work towards the financing agreement with the Finish Government for the Community Development Project in selected districts of Western Province design. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the second programme is Co-ordination of Policy Formulation and Implementation of Vision 2030. The objective is to enhance capacity in policy formulation and co-ordination of Vision 2030 Flagship Projects, so as to make Kenya a globally competitive and prosperous country of middle income status by the year 2030. As all hon. Members are aware, the Vision Delivery Secretariat has been established, and will scale up its operations in the coming year. The third programme is Policy, Research, Information and Statistical Services. Its objectives are to provide informed policy direction through research, collection and dissemination of statistical information appropriate for the attainment of Vision 2030 long-term goals. It is under this programme that the Ministry will fully release the 2009 Population and Housing Census results. The fourth programme is Administrative and Support Resources, whose main objective is to provide the necessary facility support needed by the Technical Department to fulfil their mandate. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in order to facilitate the implementation of the above Ministerial Programmes, I propose to spend Kshs2,071,945,700 under the Recurrent Expenditure on the following major areas: General Administration and Planning, Kshs257,880,111; Planning and Development Services, including Recurrent Transfers to SAGAR; Kshs1,154,055,589; Statistical Services, Kshs640 million."
