    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I sought a Statement almost six months ago. This was in regard to a disbursement by the World Bank of US$390 million, an equivalent of Ksh48 billion. The response we have heard is not worth Ksh100,000. This is simply disrespectful to this House. It is the reason why the Chairperson has always avoided bringing the Statement to this House despite my many follow-ups. He even confided in me that he will not stand in this House to read that Statement. I doubt whether the Principal Secretary went through what is written before appending his signature. This Statement was written by an intern in that office. The amount in question is Ksh48 billion, but the response talks about Ksh400,000. Further, the response states that the money has not been deposited into the account while this project was funded in March 2023. I am totally dissatisfied with this response. Further, I would like the Committee to help me get a proper response even if it means I join them so as to get to the depth of this matter. We cannot have such a response after six months. There are only three pages explaining nothing and telling us that the beneficiaries will be the citizens of this country. I am totally disappointed and hope to get a proper response for the Statement that I sought from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Communication Information and Innovation. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
