    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, we have plans to provide for funding. As you will realise, 77 new districts were created between 2003 and 2008. These districts cannot be facilitated in one year. We have to do these things in stages. For example, the total allocation for construction during this financial year is Kshs826,561,979 for the districts that are ready. This includes the refurbishing of the old districts and additional facilities. We have also set aside Kshs373,331,630 to facilitate the take-off of the newly created districts in the last ten months. So, some of these issues are going to be dealt with in the short-term, but some will be dealt with in the long-term. As you know, in 1992, we had 42 districts including Nairobi. We started increasing districts after the passing of the Act. At that time, facilities were supposed to be provided on Harambee basis. Some districts have done extremely well and a good example is Kuria and Karachuonyo districts. Plans are there to facilitate these districts."
