    "content": "Ministry is operating at a below capacity of 49 per cent of the optimal authorized staff establishment. The inadequate funding is also affecting the Land Tribunals and the Boards that so much concern the Members of Parliament. In this financial year, of course, there will be the question of implementing the land policy. There will be the development of a National Land Information Management System, finalization of the Land Use Policy, construction and refurbishment of offices and so many other activities which the Ministry is involved in. We will implement those policies as a matter of priority and for that reason, under the Recurrent Vote, in order to cater for the services, I will require a gross provision of Kshs1,973,078,460 which will be applied as follows:- Kshs1.2 billion will meet the expenses of staff salaries and other personal emoluments. Kshs453,054,698 will be for operations and maintenance plus Appropriations-in-Aid amounting to Kshs297 million, thus totaling to Kshs750,712,858. For Development Expenditure, out of the gross provision amounting to Kshs2,586,887,400 for the financial year, Kshs310,850 and Kshs200 million will come from external receipts in form of Appropriations-in-Aid and those will come from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to be utilized as follows:- Kshs200 million will be utilized in the National Land Reform activities and Kshs9 million will be used for the training programme on Third Party Group at KISM. Out of Kshs3.9 billion net total allocations to the Ministry, Kshs432,672,378 shall be applied to operations and maintenance in support of our field offices."
