    "content": "So, you put in seed capital and this is what informs the next budget-making process. For instance, if Hon. Omboko's constituency in Vihiga County had a road identified as a critical link between his constituency and Kisumu County or another neighbouring county, therefore, the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee felt that road is a critical link and put Ksh20 million or Ksh50 million as seed capital. So, when they get a budget line that will be added onto the subsequent financial year's budget, they ought to have benefited from the addition this year. Public participation should not be an end by itself. You allocate if you find a school with no classrooms. If you go to Turkana, Baringo or places where people have been displaced by bandits and classrooms demolished or burnt down you can allocate Ksh10 million to the school so as to allow the children to go to school. That was the essence of public participation, and not the kind of abuse that we have seen in the last two years. I want to commit on behalf of the House leadership in the majority and minority sides that we shall ensure this never happens again."
