    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am afraid I cannot commit myself or the NIA. I can commit myself that we are looking at the survey. We have started the exercise because every commitment is supposed to be followed with funding. You are aware that Parliament appropriates, and this kind of project requires funding that is permitted by Parliament. The last budget we had something that was known as cross county budget or basket of money that was not specific to a project. We lost that to austerity measures. If the work plan or procurement plan is not complete I can commit myself. I do not think it is a completely hopeless case. I have said we will factor it in the next budget. I am aware there was a Presidential directive. Once the President pronounces himself, the pronouncement is forwarded to the Cabinet Secretary who forwards to the Principal Secretary and the necessary agencies for implementation. That means they will put that pronouncement into the budget. Therefore, it means we shall still be working on it down the line when we are allocating funds. I think there was a question on whether I can visit the area."
