    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to give a brief comment on the statement by the distinguished Senator from Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of stalled projects is everywhere in our 47 counties. It is not a unique issue in Kakamega County only. The Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations needs to be moving around to inspect projects that have stalled, that have not been completed, or that have been finished, but not been commissioned. I went to Somaliland last week. I wish Sen. Sifuna could hear this. When they did the election, Hon. Sifuna was there. It was a peaceful election. We went to a port city, called Berbera and met with the Mayor, Abdi Shakur, who had invited us. His budget is Kshs1.8 billion. That city is one of the most beautiful cities in Africa today, with a budget of Kshs1.8 billion. I, therefore--- (Words expunged at the order of the Speaker) . I was shocked to see a mayor running a project at Kshs1.8 billion. The roads are good, the water system is working and the police officers are being paid by the mayor. I ask our governors to go to Berbera. Let them see what is happening there. These stalled projects that Hon. Khalwale is talking about are everywhere. They need to go to Berbera and see what Kshs1.8 billion is doing. It is a learning process. I urge fellow Senators to please go to Somaliland and see what is happening there--- (Words expunged at the order of the Speaker) ."
