    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was referring to the issue of corruption in the Public Service in relation to the contract sum for the Vice-President's official residence, which has kept moving upwards from the initial figure of Kshs50 million when the project was conceptualised. Last year, it was Kshs50 million and this year the figure is Kshs82 million. So, I said that there could be a problem which the Minister may need to clarify when he replies to the debate. In conclusion, I want to talk about an issue that we were able to grapple with during Question Time; that was an issue about donor-funding. When the NARC Government came into power, there was an applause directed to it regarding the distribution of bursaries. However, donors withdrew their support in the Free Primary Education Programme, shortly after. So, the Government had to get money from other quarters by cancelling the bursary funding. We do not want any of the road projects to be affected by the donor duel with the Government. 2138 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 18, 2006 With those few remarks, I beg to support."
