Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Vote as presented by Prof. Saitoti, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. One of the things that I would really want the House to take note of is that, in his presentation, the Minister has clearly indicated that he has a major deficit of about Kshs11 billion as a funding gap. At the same time, I think it would be important for the House to take note of the fact that, out of the Kshs45.6 billion that has been approved by the Treasury, Recurrent Vote amounts to Kshs41.7 ...

I have noted that the County Council of Nakuru never provided for the purchase of land for the construction of fresh produce market in Mau-Narok Division in the approved financial estimates for the year 2010/2011 Budget.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the council to incur expenditure on the same, it has to be provided for in the approved estimates. They cannot purchase the land since it was not budgeted for. However, I want to assure the hon. Member and the House that I have directed the council to prepare supplementary estimates for my approval to cater for the purchase of land for the construction of the said market.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would just like to make one correction that no funds were coming from the Treasury for the purchase of this land. This is money that was supposed to be made available from the resources of the County Council of Nakuru itself. It would appear the County Council had other priorities and that is why they did not bring this as an item to be included in their financial proposals. However, I would like to assure the hon. Member that I have communicated to the County Council and told them that it is important that they ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to request the hon. Member to put a specific Question because we have now moved away completely from Nakuru and we are in Maragua. The issues there could be different. So, I would be willing to respond to it in a more specific manner later on.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in seconding this Motion, I just want to make one very important point. It should be known by the Kenyan Public that the Akiwumi Report was very specific that hon. Members will pay tax. At the same time, hon. Members here are agreed that taxes will have to be paid so that the accusation that hon. Members get the benefit of not paying taxes on their allowances can be put to rest once and for all. I am saying this because the notion that has really been peddled is that Members of Parliament want to avoid the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think this is an important Motion, bearing in mind that what it seeks is a very minor issue, that is, to rescind the decision which had the specific tag of seven days on the earlier Motion where Parliament adopted the Akiwumi Report a few weeks ago. It is a straightforward Motion that the decision be rescinded. This will give an opportunity for hon. Members to discuss a little further on this issue. They will also put it on record that what they want to do and what they proposed has been seriously misinterpreted by the Kenyan ...
