Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Development Estimates, the figure Kshs121,685,380,000 be deleted and substituted thereof with Kshs115,985,380,000. I beg for the Members’ attention before we can make a decision on this. We had allocated Kshs112 billion to the Roads and Transport Department for infrastructure development. However, for those of us who were in the House during debate on our Report, on our own Motion as the Budget and Appropriations Committee, having listened to Kenyans across the country in 12 counties during the public hearings, it emerged that ...

After listening to submissions from departmental committees, we sought to raise an additional Kshs8.7 billion to cater for roads so that emergency repair of roads that were dilapidated by the recent floods can be done. However, Hon. Members, the Kshs8.7 billion is only a drop in the ocean vis-a-vis what is needed in the sector. Therefore, what has the Government done? What is important for us to know, even as we make a decision, is what kind of a decision we should make and where we are going, moving forward. There are many people who require the roads that have ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was saying that for those who listened to what His Excellency the President said yesterday in Quebec, Canada, it is not lost on the Government that the resources required to put back our infrastructure to where it ought to be will be more than Kshs18 billion. Some of the areas we had targeted to raise money from was the NYS. This House is justified in cutting money allocated to the NYS and reallocate it to more pressing priorities like our road infrastructure. That is without doubt. We sought to reduce the NYS budget by Kshs5.7 ...

I am saying that because we have had extensive consultations, long hours into the night, on this issue. Had we reduced it by Kshs2.5 billion, we would effectively have had nothing for our roads infrastructure. Therefore, you will see when we get to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, that there has been a revision. The reason, which is very simple, is that the NYS is where we are borrowing about Kshs5.7 billion plus an additional Kshs2.5 billion. As Budget and Appropriations Committee, we ignored what the National Treasury had done. We took the Kshs5.7 plus the Kshs2.5 ...
