    "content": "themselves. They are the ones who do the funds allocation depending on what they need to be achieved in those particular regions. As my colleagues had mentioned earlier, especially Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, we were in Turkana County last week and it is quite a sad state of affairs. I am happy if the Committee on County Public Accounts (CPAC) is looking into the funds that had been remitted earlier. It was a very good feeling interacting with the people and physically being on the ground to have a direct feel of what devolution is. Our major focus was on as far as matters development were concerned. Water was a very prominent issue that came about. It is quite saddening because I am privileged to also sit in my other committee called the County Public Investments Committee (CPIC), which looks at the special funds and these grants are some of the funds. So, I sit in the Committee on Finance and Budget that gives the money and at the same time oversight the same money in the other committee. It is sad because Turkana County has been one of the beneficiaries of the grants. I look at this allocation here and Turkana County is going to be receiving Kshs137 million. Then you ask the simple question, why can the Governor of Turkana County not be able to ensure he prioritizes the basic commodity that is water? Sen. Lomenen from Turkana County, we were in your beautiful county and you welcomed us very well. Kindly, because we saw the cry for water, we request that you try and push for the same. At this point, I do second and support the Bill."
