Hon. Chairlady, I have already identified where that money should come from. We need to support the teachers. We should not wait and then we shed crocodile tears after discussing the issues that are affecting the teachers.

Hon. Chairlady, my amendment has a real basis. So, I may not accept to withdraw it because there was a basis why I was proposing it. I am proposing the amendment on the basis of harmonization.

Hon. Chairlady, that is why I was giving you the breakdown. The commuter allowance is Kshs11.4 billion, leave allowance Ks1.4 billion, and responsibility allowance Kshs3 billion. That totals to around Kshs15 billion. The item for laptops, which has Kshs17.5 billion, will cover that amount.
