"content": "On the District Focus for Rural Development as raised by Mr. ole Lankas, the District Focus for Rural Development is still there, only that the District Development Committees (DDCs) which were supposed to be the vehicle for District Focus for Rural Development had no legal framework. That is why the Ministry is now coming up with a constituency resource framework so that, that particular body, if the Bill passes through Parliament, will take over the role of the District Development Committees (DDCs). This is because we have realized that the DDCs had problems of funding and as such, most of them were or are dormant. But we have started having few funds flowing through up to the district level to help the DDOs to do planning through the DDCs. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry raised the issue of capacity building and I remember Dr. Mwiria also raised the issue of capacity. Hon. Members, as you are aware, now it is the Government policy that, at least, 2.5 per cent of its annual Budget goes towards training of staff. I think that was provided for in this yearâs Budget across all Ministries. We are hopeful that if those funds are used properly, then we shall have well trained manpower to spearhead Vision 2030. On the issue of inflation figures as raised by Mr. Bahari, I think I have responded to that. On the issue of performance contracts, let me assure hon. Members that the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 is involved in facilitating all strategic plans for all Ministries. All strategic plans of all other Ministries go through the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 to ensure that they are in line with Vision 2030 and the Medium-term plan. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
