    "content": "Both county governments and national Government projects are not well-funded. A project has an allocation, but no performance. In my constituency, there is a road that is always allocated funds in the budget. I draw the attention of the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to this matter. I had consulted him earlier, but I have not followed up. The truth is that I have a project which is allocated funds very well, but no action is taken. This is the second or third year it is allocated funds in the budget. However, it has never been done. I have made as much noise on this matter as I could. Even His Excellency, the President, has given several promises to my constituents. He told them that the road will be constructed. Money is allocated in the Budget. However, in action, we do not know where it goes, and the project is not actualised. Budgeting is for a purpose. You budget to enable you do what you want to do. If you provide a budget to do something, but you do not do it, something is definitely wrong. I long for the day when we will budget and act on it to the letter, so that we can give Kenyans the benefits they need from this House. This is because budgeting, allocating and approving ways of sourcing for funds is the responsibility of this House. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
