    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other item which has been talked about here a lot is about the Economic Stimulus Program (ESP). I am a professional in this line of infrastructure and I have already tried to give my submissions. But the way I am seeing it, it might not even work because we have problems of implementation, especially when we talk about--- Waziri Obure has just spoken about his Ministry being central in the whole programme. We know very well the capacity of the Ministry of Public Works in handling these kinds of projects. Even without the ESP, already the Ministry of Public Works was overstretched. Now, we are expecting the engineers, architects and the quantity surveyors to design and supervise all those works. I think it is going to be very, very difficult. Coming from that line myself, I would propose that we should be allowed either to outsource the services of these invaluable professionals. Whatever is happening now and even whatever has been designed from the Ministry of Public Works headquarters, I am very sure it is not applicable in many constituencies. We are having designs and bills of quantities for new schools and dispensaries and yet we are meant to renovate and update the ones which are in existence."
