Gudison Muchina,MCA Tebere} I stand to bring an amendment on recurrent expenditure 01, the amount required for the year ending 30th June 2014 for salaries and expenses for the County Assembly including general administration and planning. We amend in all vote heads of development expenditure we amend to read “ the amount required in the year ending 30th June 2014 for the County Assembly Capital expenditure” we delete “including general administration and planning” in all the vote heads.

Speaker Anne Githinji} We resume the session. {Hon. James Kinyua Mutugi} Thank you madam speaker, I stand to report what we have done (in the committee of the whole house), I want to say that am very happy with the members, and we have done a wonderful job. We have been able to go through the Appropriation Bill and members have adopted it. However there were some few issues here and there especially on the issue why the recurrent expenditure seems to be higher than the development expenditure. It was stated that the recurrent includes all the purchases that are to be purchased some of which in the lay mans language may have been deemed to be development expenditure. Madam speaker I stand to report that members have adopted this the way it is. {Hon. Speaker Anne Githinji} Thank you. The Bill is adopted as it is. We proceed to the third reading. {Hon. David Mathenge,MCA Baragwi} I wish to move a motion that the Kirinyaga County Assembly Bill be read for the third time. {Clerk Stephen Nzioka} This is, An act of the County Assembly of Kirinyaga County to authorize the allocation of certain sums of money out of the County Revenue Fund, and the application to render the service of the year ending on 30th June 2014 and to appropriate those sums under the sum authorized by the County Assembly for certain county public services and purposes. {Hon. Speaker Anne Githinji} The Bill has been read for the third time. {Hon. Gudison Muchina, MCA Tebere} I stand to support, pursuant to Standing Order 132 (2) that we adopt the Bill with the amendments from the second reading without further amendments. As many as in support of the Bill.. The motion was passed. This is the Kirinyaga County Appropriation Bill no.27 of 2013. I adjourn this house to July 9th 2013 at 2.30 PM. The House rose at 2.17 PM.
