Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have a very quick point to raise on this. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ideally require that amount of money to work but we want them to deliver. The commitments that the Commission has been engaging in of late are not equivalent to the amount of money that is allocated to them. They must deliver according to the amount of money that they are given. Therefore, I hold my reservation on this Commission. They must show the expenditure versus the actual work that they deliver. That is all I wanted to ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment by Hon. Osoro on the reduction of the amount of money given to the SRC. That arises from the position that he has taken in the sense that considerable amounts of funds are catered for under unnecessary activities. Some of it is about committee meetings and the likes that they have, which is overly touching. Therefore, that needs to be reduced. I support the amendment as proposed by Hon. Osoro.

Thank you. I support the funding of the National Police Service Commission. However, on the same note, as my colleague has put it, NPRs have been overlooked and put on the left hand. So, I suggest that this funding should also include the welfare of NPRs.

If this funding does not also include the housing of police staff… It is also unfortunate that our police who are out there in the bush are not considered for housing and welfare. Unless that is in consideration, I will not support.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Budget for 2019/2020. While I support, I have considerable amount of reservations on the budgets, particularly the way they have been established. There are a number of critical things that this Budget does not reflect on. One is about allocation of considerable amounts of funds for water and health. That is one of the things that I really hope to see.

This year’s national budget reflects on the reality of where we want to see our country in future and how we want our communities to benefit. Albeit I see the challenges coming in terms of the scrutiny that the budget deserves, this one has values that are going to make a change to multiple areas in our communities. There is a general feeling that the Budget and Appropriations Committee overlooks a number of things. Some of them include recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Health. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health, I support the amendments of the ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the President's Address of 4th April, 2019. I find the values of the Address to be exceptional. The President highlighted key things that are important to our country, to our people and to the world. The President touched on the major items that are valuable to the development of the country. The President's Address highlighted the Big Four Agenda. The Big Four Agenda will be his legacy. Because of that, we also feel that the Big Four Agenda is for the country and for our Jubilee Party. Obviously, I am highlighting that ...
