    "content": "(BETA). However, I believe that these CAIPs speak to that policy. The realization that industrial development is the cornerstone to development in every country for developing countries. The newly industrialised countries with economies under transition and even for the developed world, industrialization is a cornerstone to development. In the wisdom of this administration or the National Treasury, 19 counties were identified to be beneficiaries of the initial allocation of the Kshs250 million from the national Government. These 19 county assemblies are supposed to pass budgets to match that allocation to bring it to a total of Kshs500 million. The criteria for choosing the 19 counties, I think is a discretion that none of us would put a finger to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, be that as it may, there are a number of counties in phase one that have received allocations from the national Government to construct industrial parks. Yes, they have identified the land and started construction. However, that is as far as the story goes. Things have stalled. There is no conversation around the issue any more. So, the auditors and it is their right to do what they are doing, are capturing that as part of stalled projects forming part of the many white elephant projects that we have all over the country."
