    "content": "As the Committee on Finance and Budget, working with CPAC, we would want to see how we can enhance performance. We passed a Motion sponsored by yours truly in this House on issues of stalled projects. As I speak, stalled projects through the audit report still stand in excess of Kshs366 billion. We are losing value for money. The time value of our shilling is not being exploited; we are not using our shilling to add value in giving services to our people. I ask the organizations in charge, especially the National Treasury, to ensure the first charge in the budget is to complete stalled projects as was passed by this House. We need to resolve that no more projects should be started in counties that do not adhere to that requirement. If it is a dispensary, an office, a class, an administration bloc for the agricultural extension officers be completed so that we do not have stalled projects because they become more expensive when rehabilitated. This is something we should look at and emphasize."
