    "content": "It is important for members of the public to know that this comprises conditional allocations financed by the World Bank credit to finance agriculture and rural inclusive growth projects as set out in column B. It also includes conditional grant allocations financed by the International Development Agency (IDA) of the World Bank. It also includes conditional allocations financed by the World Bank loan to finance the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project and further includes conditional allocations from the World Bank credit to finance the Water and Sanitation Programme (WSP). Further sources of this money included conditional allocations from the grant by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) to finance primary health care whose debate is ongoing as we did in Turkana last week. Further funds are coming from conditional allocations financed by the credit from the World Bank to finance the locally- led climate action programme. It also includes conditional allocations financed by a loan from the Government of Sweden to finance the agriculture sector development support programme further by conditional grants financed by both loans and grants from the German Development Bank to finance the drought resilience programme in North Eastern Kenya. It also includes conditional allocations financed by credit from the World Bank to finance the Emergency Locust Response Project (ELRP). We also have conditional financing by a loan from the World Bank to finance the Kenya Informal Settlement Improvement Project (KISIP). We also have conditional allocations from proceeds of loans from the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) to finance the Kenya Livestock Commercialization Project (KeLCoP). We have conditional allocations from proceeds of the loan fund for the Agricultural Business Development Project as set out in Column M. Finally, but not least, part of this money is conditional allocations amounting to Kshs6,167,500,000 financed by proceeds from the World Bank loan for the County Climate Resilience Programme. Having set out where this money is coming from, it is my pleasure, as I conclude to move this important Bill to inform members of the public that out of this industry, we are now freeing Kshs15,816,000,000 to empower our county governments. Once again, I would like to remind governors that this money that we are working so hard to ensure that they have is not meant to be at their disposal for self- aggrandizement. It is supposed to be for development. Out of these allocations, you have seen several programmes that are addressing the problems that afflict the Semi-Arid and Arid Areas. Having come fresh from Turkana, I hope that the Governor of Turkana is watching this debate. He should make sure that he uses his allocation of these billions to start a structured programme of rolling out the availability of clean water for the people of Turkana. The shame we saw in Turkana where little children as young as five or six years stand by the roadside and wave you down. When you stop, they tell you ejog, ejog. When you ask what that means, they tell you “how are you, peace be with you”. Little do The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
