    "content": "Intergovernmental Relations concerning the implementation of the County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs) project across the counties. The National Government, through the Ministry of Investment Trade and Industries in partnership with the county governments, private sector partners, development partners and the United Nation Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), entered into partnership to establish a CAIP in each county aimed at boosting the manufacturing sectors, contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the current 7 per cent to 15 per cent by 2027 and 20 per cent by 2030. The project will be implemented in three phases covering all counties. It is financed equally by the national Government and county governments, each contributing Kshs250 million. It is also noted that the Senate approved the County Government Additional Allocation Act for the Financial Years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, donating funds, specifically in this project. In the statement, the committee should- (1) Table a report on the current progress of construction of these industrial parks in all the 47 counties, specifying the timelines for completion and operationalization of the parks. (2) State the amount of funds that have, so far, been disbursed by the national Government for each county government for construction of these parks vis-a-vis total funds allocated to each county and give details of any other source of funding for the project, giving a detailed breakdown per county of the money spent towards the implementation of the project. (3) Clarify the basis for the partnership between the national Government and county governments in the implementation of this project, including any agreements between the two levels of Government as per Article 187 of the Constitution. (4) State whether all the counties have acquired land of equal acreage for the project and the measures to ensure the land is protected from any potential risk of public land grabbing. (5) Furnish the Senate with the relevant project documentation such as feasibility studies, procurement plans, Bills of Quantities (BQ), tender documents and state measures for ensuring maximum accountability and timely auditing of financial records of the project by the Office of the Auditor-General. (6) Outline the challenges hindering project implementation, noting that no county has implemented the project and detail the measures the Government has put in place to expertise its realization across all the 47 counties. This is signed by Sen. Godfrey Osotsi, MP and the Deputy Party Leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)."
