    "content": "There are programmes and projects which are being undertaken by this Ministry in my constituency under the Western Province Community Driven and Flood Mitigation Programme. The Ministry should be very keen in auditing the projects it is undertaking because just last weekend, I went through the expenditure on how the officers from the Ministry of State for Special Programmes are spending money from the donors. A brick in Teso costs a minimum of Kshs3 but the Ministry of State for Special Programmes is buying a brick in Teso at Kshs15. This is abnormal! It is so high! The Ministry of State for Special Programmes has put up an office in my constituency at a cost of over Kshs3 million; a building that could cost around Kshs2 million. The Ministry of State for Special Programmes under that project of Western Province Community Driven and Flood Mitigation Programme is putting up a ginnery in my place at a very high cost. It is also trying to put up a rice mill but recently, fortunately, they did an audit but I do not think the audited report will be acted upon because we have already found out that a lot of money has been embezzled for the previous financial year. I would appeal that as a case study; let the Ministry of State for Special Programmes take Teso as an example. They can come and look at their projects and see if they have got value for money."
