    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee regarding the status of the social services projects earmarked by the Budget and Appropriations Committee during the public hearings in the Financial Year 2024/2025. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Budget and Appropriations regarding delay in the implementation of infrastructural projects earmarked for the Financial Year 2024/2025. Following a public participation hearing by the Committee on Budget and Appropriations in Turkana County in the current Financial Year 2024/2025, Turkana County was allocated Ksh100 million to be shared among six constituencies for project allocation identified by constituents through their respective Members of Parliament. These specific projects were in the itemized budget and captured in the budget books as approved by this House for implementation by their respective State Departments. Loima Constituency had two sets of infrastructural projects falling under the State Department of Basic Education and the State Department for Technical and Vocational Education andTraining ( TVETs). They included implementations of projects at Saint Bakhita Girls Secondary School for the construction of teachers' houses, ablution blocks, and classrooms. Others included construction of a perimeter wall or fence at Loima Technical and Vocational Training. The implementation of these projects has not commenced despite funds being budgeted and allocated in the vote heads, noting that the Financial Year is coming to an end. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Budget and Appropriations on the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
