Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister for Finance does not carry money in a bag because the money is voted by this Parliament. That is the point I have been emphasizing that this Parliament is a budget making Parliament and it is not like the rubber stamp of the previous years. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every Ministry is allocated a budget and it is for them to prioritize issues. It just shows that, according to them, this issue is not a priority because there is more money than the money they are talking about. It is a ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me thank my colleagues, really, for giving support to this country. I just want to assure this House and Kenyans, that the Treasury supports devolution. The Treasury will give the county governments all the necessary support. The success of this country depends on successful implementation of devolution. Therefore, as Treasury we are going to support it. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know where the impression came from that the Treasury is not supporting devolution. We are going to support it. In fact, we will give counties even more resources than what the Constitution ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that The Transition County Appropriation Bill, Bill No.91 of 2012, be now read a Second Time. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this basically follows from what we have just done to enable the Controller of Budget to approve funds from the Consolidated Fund to the counties. That is why we require the Appropriations Bill. In fact, I am saying that I have already amended the Appropriation Bill to take into account what was agreed upon yesterday with the Budget Committee. I am, therefore, asking Members to approve this Bill, so that the Controller ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with the way you have conducted the business of the House. You have deferred business under Order Nos.12 and 13 until the end. My intention was that as the House deliberates on the other Motions, I was going to call the hon. Members, because I have my team here, and see whether they have changed their mind. If they have not changed their mind, then that is it. So, the way you have ruled is right; that they be considered last, to give us time to see whether there has been any change in ...
