No. When a specific funding agency decides that they want to fund some climate change issue, they must just look at where the water towers are, or where they can best mitigate climate change issues and fund projects in that area. Hence it is not about equity. It is about what the people want. What is becoming very clear is that these conditional grants cannot be used for anything else. I served in the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and I know there was Ksh2 billion that kept on being sent to the counties for purposes of helping infrastructure grants to the youth polytechnics and the TIVETs under their care. Most of this money ended up being used by the governors to pay for their salaries because there was delay, but the money that was there to upgrade these facilities was then used! I think this law now takes care of those things. When you receive money for a specific purpose, it is designated for that purpose and you cannot use it for anything else. You cannot commingle that money with others because we know money is fungible. If you take money from this pot and that pot and you put it together, you will not be able to see which money is from which pot. It will be in the combined pot. So, it is only through systems and legal frameworks that we can be able to tell that you have received this money for, say, healthcare. So, keep it for healthcare. Only use it for healthcare. Account for it under healthcare."
