    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, allow me to support this. This Schedule now caters for many issues that some Members raised during the Second Reading, especially, on the Kenya Slum Upgrading programmes. Members also questioned the role of the county governments under this programme. Now county governments can access money from this Fund to implement their affordable housing or social housing programmes. This includes housing in our rural areas, which the Member for Funyula is passionate about. I encourage our governors, especially those in far-flung areas of the country to formulate rural housing that suits the people in those areas. This includes Turkana County. The Member for Turkana South, Hon. Ariko said that they do not need housing. You can have rural housing that is relevant to the people in that area. The Member for Githunguri talked about Kiamburi Slum in Kikuyu which will now be upgraded through the Kenya Slum Upgrading Programme on low-cost housing by accessing money from this Fund. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Chairpersons of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works for listening to the people and curing this. I also congratulate both committees."
