Put the Question.

Is it the mood of the House that I put the Question?

Yes.

[(Hon. George Sunkuyia spoke off the record)]

Hon. George Sunkuyia.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report. Supplementary budgets are an important part of public finance management. It is not always possible to predict. Even the Government needs to announce when the budget is prepared. As the financial year progresses, new priorities and urgent needs may arise. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the House to consider and approve the n…

Member for Nandi Hills, Hon. Kitur.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to the Bill. I support this Bill, particularly because it will impact a number of programmes. One of the critical areas that affects my constituents is the issue of sports academies. Some of the funds allocated will go towards sports academies, and I have several in my constituency. Earlier in the debate, one of my co…

Because of rank, Hon. Adan Keynan will have the last comment at this stage.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to make just two comments on this. This House holds the title of the “august House”. As I followed the debate yesterday and this morning, one thing that came to my mind is the history of our democracy. I do not want to delve too much into it, but my plea to all my colleagues is to remember that we are one. You can do whatever you want, but out there, we …

Hon. Members, you will be able to comment on the Bill before the conclusion of the Third Reading. Allow me to put the question.

[(Question put and agreed to)]

(National Assembly Bill No. 38 of 2026)

Mover of the Bill to move Third Reading.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Supplementary Appropriation (No. 2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 38 of 2026) be now read a Third Time. I request the Vice-Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to second.

Let us have Hon. Pukose.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second.

[(Question proposed)]

Let us have Hon. Charles Ngusya.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I support this Supplementary Appropriation (No. 2) Bill because I have seen

its great importance. We are hosting the AFCON next year. I am a Member of the Departmental changed certain standards and the quality of the stadia. We should allocate resources to meet CAF regulations so that we can host a successful AFCON, which will market our country. Security is also very important. We saw what happened in Mwingi and other areas. Most Members who are opposing this Bill do n…

Next is Hon. Japheth Nyakundi, followed by Hon. Timothy Toroitich.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also take this opportunity to support the Supplementary Appropriations (No.2) Bill. Firstly, I have heard the Member of Parliament for Suba South Constituency, who has just left, talk about the stadia. I want to tell him that the stadiums that he has seen are being built with money from the Sports Fund, which is Appropriations-in-Aid. I urge this House to supp…

Hon. Timothy Toroitich, make your contribution in one minute.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the letter, spirit and intent of the Supplementary Appropriations (No.2) Bill of 2026 for only one reason. I have seen that we have allocated Ksh1.5 billion towards the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. I come from the Kerio Valley Region, which has prevalent security matters. I am happy that since the Government of President Wi…

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Supplementary Appropriations (No.2) Bill. I support the Bill mostly for the Sports Fund and the funds allocated to it. I even spoke with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Sports Fund. In my constituency, repair work will start at the Undugu Grounds. Apart from that, a few roads that had stalled …

Hon. Naomi Waqo, in 30 seconds.

Hon. Naomi Waqo (Marsabit County, UDA): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Supplementary Appropriations (No.2) Bill. I also congratulate the Committee, as the State Departments for Water and Sanitation, Sports, Youth Affairs and Creative Economy, and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) received sufficient funding. Again, the Presidency is responsible for the organisation an…

[(Question put and agreed to)]
