    "content": "do not have regulations to ensure that funds are released for their completion. So, these regulations will go a long way to ensure that those projects get completed. Secondly, these regulations will ensure the creation of an advisory board. However, on the composition of this advisory board and especially the aspect of one person being nominated by the Senate, I suggest that should be a person form the marginalised areas just like in (b) where it says: “one person from pastoralist community nominated by the National Assembly, and in (f) one person nominated by the Council of Governors (COG) from areas defined as marginalised. So, in the same way, even the person nominated by the Senate should also be from a marginalised region. I propose that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) should be identified from those areas. I also suggest that the approval like I said before, should ensure… For example, in Sigor constituency we have a stalled project called Kopro Water Project. The community is always asking what is happening. They think that money has been lost which is not the case. The committees suggested in this report are too many. This will add to bureaucracy and delay of project identification and implementation. This is because, it will take time for all these committees to agree; we have a national board, a county, a sub county and an identification and implementation Committee. All this amounts to bureaucracy and will cause delays. So, I suggest that probably as we move on we could adopt the NG-CDF model, where you have a national board followed directly by the constituencies. That would be good. I support this report so that we can have the Equalisation funds, so that stalled projects can be completed. I thank you."
