Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. As has been clarified by former Chair of the Committee on Education and Research, indeed, I can confirm the UoN has a Recurrent Expenditure budget of Kshs11.3 billion. Kenyatta University has Kshs10.6 billion allocated for Recurrent Expenditure and Moi University has Kshs8.228 billion. More importantly, there is an issue that has been raised on the cost. Of course, the Leader of the Minority Party has to be very protective of UNES since he worked there. The former Chair of the Education Committee, Hon. Sabina Chege, has just confirmed that, indeed, other than not just ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Development Estimates, the figure Kshs34,210,758,552 be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure Kshs30,410,758,552. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this is a reduction of Kshs3.8 billion. As you are aware, the Constitution provides for appropriation of 0.5 per cent of the last audited revenues and approved by the House of the Equalisation Fund. In the Estimates tabled in this House, the National The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from ...

Treasury had tabled a figure of almost Kshs8.7 billion which was grossly overstated. Therefore, that is to make that correction to reflect what is in line with whatever is provided for in the Constitution of 0.5 per cent of the last audited and approved accounts. It is a challenge to the Public Accounts Committee. I hope the Chair is here.

Yes. The Members of the Committee including the Chair are here. It is a challenge to the Vice Chair of PAC to ensure that he tables the last audited accounts. If they can get to the accounts of the Financial Year 2016/2017, have them tabled and approved by this House, then those Members who are benefitting from the Equalisation Fund will access more money since our revenues will rise. If we can have the ones for 2017/2018 approved and adopted in this House, that will ensure that more resources go to the Equalisation Fund to ensure that those from marginalised ...

Hon. Chairlady, I think it is very good to be plain and honest. I alluded to the fact that what was provided for in the Estimates was over and above what is provided for in the Constitution. I think that point needs to be made very clear to the Members. The other point I want to make is that it is up to the Members to make a decision one way or another.

My second point is that the Leader of the Minority Party is the one who stood on a point of order to say that for every increment or decrease, we must state where we are getting resources from. The Leader of the Minority Party has admitted that he was not seated in the Committee when this decision was arrived at. The Committee embarked on an initiative to raise adequate resources. I hope the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing is in this House. We want to raise resources to bridge a gap of over Kshs18 ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, that is the point I wanted to make. There is an implication that these resources, which were allocated over and above what is provided for in the Constitution, are being reduced so that we can accommodate the other needs like the special kitty we provided for infrastructure. So, we have a choice to increase or leave what is provided for over and above the constitutional threshold and we lose what we are trying to create for our roads infrastructure across the country.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Recurrent Estimates, the figure Kshs9,340,568,288 be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure Kshs8,340,568,288. This was an additional allocation going towards mapping for the National Census. There is already an allocation of Kshs1.2 billion. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning had increased that to Kshs3 billion. In line with the earlier stated objective of raising the Kshs6 billion for TVET, we got Kshs1 billion from this allocation which was an additional allocation of Kshs1.8 billion. Therefore, we have left an ...
