    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I also stand to support the amendments, and I would want to make one thing clear. One is the fact that when people plan at ward level, they will identify their priorities, as rightly said by many other speakers before me. The fact that we may not face what we have faced in the past in terms of identifying the actual projects – you know there are many white elephant projects that existed because people at the lower levels were not involved – thus bringing in the element of participation. The fear that a few people are now trying to express, in terms of wards or representatives of those communities, forming rigid positions; the fact that their priorities may not be considered at the highest level, does not arise because I think the final position lies with the county boards, who will harmonize those projects and even remove some of them, because you are not obliged to accommodate all their proposals. So, the fear that people will take rigid positions from the lower levels may not occur. This is what I think. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir."
