"content": "When your time comes, you will speak. I sat here waiting for this chance. I will be very brief. I support this important Bill. If Members know how important it is, they can support it. We shall collaborate with the regional development authorities in projects, the same way we do with ministries but, I agree that they need to be re-aligned with the Constitution. They also need to be streamlined with the other existing legislations. This will ensure that they are well- structured and easy to oversee. Those authorities are important, but there has to be a way of overseeing them. During my first term in Parliament, there was a dam project that was supposed to be done in Longonot. Money was paid but water was not produced. The contractors did not even come to the site but, in the papers, a dam project was done there. As opposed to regionalism, my concern is on public participation. If there is a project in my constituency, there should be public participation. If they involved the community in public participation in the Longonot Dam Project, they would have told them that they would not get water because there is no stream around that area. The aim of the project was to consume money. Public participation is important. Most monies that those regional development authorities have come from the donors. How are they policed? How do we know which donor has sent money and to which project? Most of the functions also cut across the counties. I cannot say that a specific amount of money or projects should go to counties because they do not know what happens or how they choose them. This should be done at the national level. They should also be policed. There should be regulations on how they will be policed.

"content": "Development Authority, whose offices are situated in Narok Town. We have not seen any project by that Authority, even in the larger Naivasha Constituency which I represent. I support the reduction of board members because that will reduce expenditure. As opposed to saying that the membership of boards must be regional, we need experts. If there is a dam that requires engineers, let us engage them. The Constitution stipulates that a Kenyan must be allowed to work anywhere in this country. Nobody should be denied a chance. We need a lot of reforms. I will not call for the disbandment of the authorities. They need a lot of reforms, so that they can serve Kenyans. This will give us a chance to know what is happening in the regions, what money has been committed to projects and the source. The regional development authorities are amorphous. We know that there is an authority somewhere, a chief executive officer and a board. What do they do?"
