    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution on the Vote of the Ministry of Local Government as duly presented by the Minister. First of all, I want to start by acknowledging that the Minister, in keeping with what the House has directed, has provided us with the district allocations. However, quite sadly, looking at this booklet, no reference has been made to my district. It appears as if the Minister for Local Government wants to remove us from the list of the local authorities that he has. Hon. Musila, when making his contribution, alluded to the fact that his district has, at least, got some Kshs3.5 million. My district is totally missing. When I look at the projects which are being developed in the various local authorities, for example, the development of Nyangores/Amalo Irrigation Scheme, improvement of water supply and distribution, self-help water projects and the construction of cattle sale yard, I wonder whether the Minister did not think that my local authority is worth having any of such facilities. There are so many random projects such as bus parks in the various local authorities. Was the criteria demand-driven? Did the local authorities have to write to the Minister and make requests, so that he may know that they require to do some water projects or bus parks? 2490 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 1, 2006 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am looking at the copy of the Development Vote. It may well be that, perhaps, the Minister has another copy which I think he will then make reference to when he is relying."
