    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to add my voice to this Statement by Sen. Loitiptip of Lamu County. There are quite a number of grants that we receive from international communities, the World Bank, and several other sponsors to our counties. However, when you look at how they are spent on the projects that are supposed to be supported by these grants, you rarely get the information on how much these monies were. At times, you also get projects that are done halfway. You get projects that are not being supervised. At times, they are done very shoddily, and so it is important that we should see what kind of projects that these grants that are given to our counties are intended for. We should have a list of these projects, how much they are allocated for, and whether there was any public participation. There are quite a number of markets that we hear about in our counties that are being done by the World Bank, but at times, they have been left uncompleted for some time. I think it is important that there is a framework of monitoring and evaluating these projects, how much they are allocated for, and how these allocations are being implemented in our counties. I congratulate Sen. Loitiptip for having brought this Statement. I urge the Committee that they really insist that there should be full implementation of these programmes, and a proper monitoring and evaluation system, which you can easily follow up on what is being done using these grants in our counties. I thank you."
