    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I first thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for doing a good work. However, it will not go well for me if I do not record some issues, especially on primary schools. As a country, we know that primary school education is the foundation of education. This is a sector that did not require any reduction but increment, considering that currently, the Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) are in primary schools. In agriculture, particularly on fertiliser, it is high time that we delete the money for the delivery unit. I do not know what they deliver. When the ministries allocate money - so that the Committee can evaluate and agree or disagree with - it is important that we see some research effort from them. If we were to need fertiliser, what will inform the Ministry of Agriculture to require a given fertiliser in a tonnage that is specific to a region? For instance, Nyandarua County is a potato growing area that requires a different fertiliser from counties that grow maize and sugar-cane. However, there is no such information. That money will be allocated in lumpsum for fertilisers. As I conclude, on lighting in this country, connecting people to the national grid in Kenya is a development agenda and it is a much welcome move. I hope that the money that has been allocated of Ksh50 billion will be utilised equitably. Some regions are claimed to be well connected up to 60 to 70 per cent and, when you go to the ground, that is not the case. Some counties like Nairobi are well connected and they continue to receive the allocation. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only.
