Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, he should explain why those two Items under Heads 714 and 716 are the same - 2630100; "Current Grants to Government Agencies and Other Levels of Government" The other Item with the same number reads: "Current Grants to Government Agencies and Other Levels of Government".

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what I am raising here is actually that, those Item numbers should never be the same. They should progress onwards. If they are the same, it means there is duplication. In accounting practises, it could never be right.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the National Irrigation Board (NIB) has been allocated Kshs200 million. The Ahero, Budalangi, Busia and Mwea irrigation schemes were started as pilot schemes.

Order, hon. Members! I notice that there is a lot of interest and I am anxious to let every hon. Member have a chance to speak. So, if you August 21, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3317 could voluntarily reduce the amount of time you use, given the fact that there is a lot of repetition, I would be very grateful. That way, all hon. Members will have a chance to contribute. Proceed, Ms. Karua!
