We are reducing the increase we had given them of Kshs750 million by Kshs250 million to leave them with an increment of Kshs500 million. The Senate Affairs Vote is taking its share of Ksh60 million shillings through that amendment and the others will also relate to the same.

You know we had to consult with Commissioner Keynan because this is the Commission’s Vote. You want me to move on to (b)?

I was clarifying to the Leader of the Majority Party and he is satisfied.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the clarification I was giving the Leader of the Majority Party and that is why I pulled the Commissioner aside, is that this is not my burden. It is the Commission’s burden. They are the ones charged with the responsibility to ensure that there is equity amongst all Members of Parliament. So, I would ask that you allow Commissioner Keynan, who is here, to tell us what the Commission is doing.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to respond to what the Leader of the Majority Party is asking, on whether there is a vote on Monitoring and Evaluation under the Parliamentary Service Commission. I want to confirm there is no such vote. What was given to the Senators which we put in our Report, if Hon. Members of this House took time to read, was money under planning just like the NG-CDF and National Government Affirmative Action Fund for women representatives.

As I had explained earlier, this is the Kshs.250 million which was drawn from other votes. Sorry Chairlady, I was speaking to (c).

This is on the development vote. In the Estimates we had a figure of Kshs2.1 billion towards the completion of the Parliamentary towers which is across the road next to County Hall. We allocated it another Kshs.1.1 billion, however upon review with PSC, we realised they could complete it with Kshs.2.7 billion. That is why we are reducing the Kshs.500 million. I was told by Commissioner Keynan that the building will be completed in June 2019.

Well, that is a matter which the Commission is well apprised. All we did as the Budget and Appropriations Committee was to appropriate adequate funds to enable them complete the project. Therefore, I urge you to support the amendment so that the project is completed in good time to allow Members occupy it. Indeed, it was a big problem during the consideration of the Budget Estimates. Hon. Members, as you can remember a number of committees used to meet in hotels in town because of lack of adequate meeting rooms. They had to hire rooms at an extra cost.
