"content": "The second issue is to ensure that the Ministry of Finance develops an audit mechanism for those Economic Stimulus Projects. I know this question has been raised here, even last week during the Prime Ministerâs Time. To answer this question, we need a listing in every constituency of all the Economic Stimulus Projects and their status. Then we need to know the level of financing and even the projected completion date because this, again, will provide justification for the original budget now being supplemented in a way of giving this country architecture for development which will provide equity as we wait for the proposed Constitution to pass. It was the first time that a Budget was so spread that in every constituency there was a centre of excellence, a fresh produce market, Jua kali sheds and two primary schools as centres of excellence; one in the urban area - and these are small towns in some rural constituencies like mine â and others in the interior. All these were historic initiatives which were lauded unanimously by this House. Therefore, it is a question of financial reporting, execution reporting and also profiling the status of those reports in various constituencies because we know that though some may have had questions, there are many constituencies where work has been done excellently and so it can provide an archive or granary which can be replicated in the other constituencies so that even contractors who may have done excellent work get a certificate of merit or recognition and those who will be promoting best practices in construction and other areas also do the same. So, the Minister for Finance has that responsibility. The monies will be availed, I am sure it will be passed and next to the proposed Constitution, completion of the Economic Stimulus Projects this calendar year provides the best opportunity for Kenyans to have hope."
