However, the allocation given to me is Kshs7.668 billion being 54 per cent of our total request. My Ministry runs three major programmes under three sub-votes, which are marked for funding as follows: The first one is Sub-vote 550, which represents general administration and planning. The programme being implemented under this Sub-vote is forestry and wildlife policy regulation and co-ordination whose objective is to facilitate the implementation of the sub-sector programmes. The total Budget allocation for this programme is Kshs722 million. Out of this, Recurrent Expenditure is Kshs506 million while Development Expenditure is Kshs216 million. The Appropriations- In-Aid (A-in-A) under this Sub- vote is Kshs620,000. These funds shall be prudently spent at my Ministry headquarters for the following activities: Development of forestry and wildlife policies, formulation of regulation and guidelines as well as co-ordination of the same co-operation. Development of a national forest strategy; monitoring and evaluation of flagship projects, personal emoluments and other administrative services, including travelling and accommodation and finally wildlife compensation."}
