    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) His Excellency the President has appointed Mr. Martin Tsuma as the Chair of the Coast Development Authority (CDA). (b) It is true that the CDA receives Kshs.45million vis-à-vis the Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (TARDA), which is allocated over Kshs100 million. The disparity is caused by TARDA having more established and ongoing projects, which have also been attracting more funding, through public-private partnership, than the CDA. (c) In order to ensure that Regional Development Authorities (RDAs) are adequately funded, my Ministry has rationalized the allocations in respect of the RDAs’ strategic plans and the ensuing Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budgets. The Ministry has also initiated public-private partnerships between RDAs and prospective donors to attract more funding."
