    "content": "county assemblies have not budgeted for this money. So, my concern is why would a project be launched when many things are still not done? I fully support this programme. I am just saying that let it be done systematically and in the right manner. Let the project not be started and then we end up with pending bills. These are the things that create pending bills. One of the things that I wanted to see in this Bill is grants or allocation towards the Affordable Housing Programme. You know housing is a devolved function and not a national Government function. So, if the national Government wants to do housing, let it do it through the counties and finance it through this programme that we are discussing now. However, there is nothing in it. Maybe they will bring it in the Supplementary Budget. I do not want to criticise before I see the Supplementary Budget. However, in most of the places where the Affordable Housing Programme was launched, the tractors were taken away, contractors left the site and there is nothing happening. In my own county, the President launched the Affordable Housing Programme. The following day, all the equipment was taken away. Nothing is happening. Now, I thought that I would see the allocation in this Bill, but there is nothing. We need clarity as to how this programme will be financed. If it will be financed directly from the national Government, that is against this Bill that we are discussing today."
