    "content": "Concerning the consultancies, the Committee captured it vividly. A lot of the expenses incurred by projects started by institutions are about consultancies. People are always carrying out project conceptualisation, which takes a lot of time and money. By the time the real project is implemented, a lot of the money would have gone down the drain on architectural drawings, consultancies, and exchange of information. It is annoying because at the end of the day, it takes the bulk of the resources allocated. A case in point is an institution in my constituency, namely, Moiben Technical Teachers College, which started as a teachers’ training college, but mid-way, it was overtaken by time. We are now re-routing it to the Kenya School of Technical Training College. We are having several technical institutions springing up yet they do not have the capacity. So, we want to start training trainers. Such projects take a long time that even the people who conceptualised the idea, as well as those who are supposed to benefit from them get tired. How I wish the people who work in institutions and carry out the projects do so diligently to ensure that they complete the projects within the shortest time possible. That way, there will be value for money."
