    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is about the state of donor funding to the Kenya Government’s Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector (GJLOS) Reform Programme. It has been reported that donor funding to this Ministry for the reform of the Judiciary, the Attorney-General’s (AG’s) Chambers and the police, amounting to a sum of Kshs4.8 billion, has not been utilised, and that a balance of Kshs2 billion runs the risk of being returned to the donors for lack of use. In the circumstances, this request seeks a Ministerial Statement to address the following issues:- (1) whether the Minister is aware of that state of affairs and the fact that the Government has not been able to utilise these funds timely; (2) what urgent steps the Ministry is taking to ensure that the donors do not recall these funds, and that officers in his Ministry, who are tasked with prudent expenditure of these funds, are disciplined for failure to meet performance targets; and, (3) apart from the donor-funded GJLOS Reform Programme, what are the direct actions that the Minister is taking in the sector by utilising Government of Kenya funds before the completion of the proposed constitutional review process?"
