    "content": " Hon. Speaker, from the outset, I want to support the Motion. I want to thank the Chairman and the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It was a difficult moment because we sat for two weeks with masks on. I also appreciate the departmental committees. I also want to thank His Excellency the President, for being sensitive to the Kenyan economy and supporting the small-scale farmers, hotel industry and the youth. Hon. Speaker, you can see in the budget that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been heavily funded. We have a lot of challenges with the TSC in the North Eastern region. I hope with this funding, TSC will bring back teachers to the region, so that children in north eastern can also benefit from education. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government has also been heavily funded. As leaders, we can help this country achieve security especially at the border areas. I want to request the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to prioritise the newly gazetted administrative units on the border areas, so that we can curb and fight terror activities in the region. The youth department has also been well funded and as a Member of the Kenya Youth Parliamentarian Association (KYPA), I am happy to see money going to the youth across the country. With this funding, we must prioritise policies that will ensure that the allocation benefit the youth. Hon. Speaker, Members have talked about skewed allocation of resources. As the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we noted duplication of resources in various ministries. The ministries should have a coordinated way of working such that they know where the resources go The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
