    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am referring to page 533, Head 716, Water Services Board. With your permission, I want to connect this Head with Head 886, Headquarters and Professional Services. What I am worried about is the provision for research, feasibility studies, project preparation design and project supervision. Under Head 716, Water Services Board, you will note that under Item 3111400, last year, there was an allocation of Kshs55 million, but this year there is absolutely nothing! The relevant question is: Are we not doing any further research or feasibility studies? Do we intend to progress or are we stagnating? If we relate that to the next one, Item 311400, under Head 886, Headquarters and Professional Services, you will see that last year we had Kshs37 million but this year, we have only Kshs30 million, which, again, means that we are going down. Could the Minister explain whether the area of research, feasibility studies, project preparation, design and project supervision are gone with the wind? We need to progress, and not retrogress!"
