    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support the Vote of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance. On the outset, I would like to join my colleagues in commending the good work that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, the Permanent Secretary (PS) and the technical teams of the various departments are doing. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Finance is crucial in this country. It is the Ministry of Finance that does the collection and distribution of that revenue. It is the Ministry of Finance that follows up implementation, monitoring and evaluation of projects financed by those funds. I want to say it here on record that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta, has gone into history books for distributing these funds equitably through a devolved system. For the first time, through this financial yearâs Budget, Jua Kali sheds will be built throughout the country, roads constructed in every part of this country, and schools of excellence built in every constituency. Above all, road projects have been allocated money across the board. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was with the President and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance yesterday when we launched the Hola and Bura Irrigation schemes under the Economic Stimulus Programme. Above all, today, the President, the Prime Minister, and the whole team, are in the north, where they are launching an emergency programme for the people of this country, who have been hard hit by drought and famine. The Kshs24 billion that has been given to the various line Ministries, through this emergency programme, have been provided by the Ministry of Finance. We must say it. However, I have an issue with the aspect of implementation. I want to be very specific. The Ministry of Finance allocates funds to various Ministries. You will find that in all these Ministries, there is so much delay in implementation, particularly in projects take-off. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said it on the Floor of this House when the Minister for Energy asked this House to pass his Ministryâs Vote, that a case in point is the Rural Electrification Programme (REP) that has allocated a substantial amount of Kshs17 million to a number of constituencies, including my Dujis Constituency in Garissa. I can say with certainty that none of the projects that have been prioritised by the community in my constituency in financial year 2009/2010 has taken off on the ground. I am sure that that is the situation across the board. So, the moral question that we, as Members of Parliament, and the people of this country, would ask is: Why allocate funds to projects that will never take off, and which will overlap with the next financial year? The Ministry of Finance must be very strict in"
