    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, devolving these resources for rural development was not a one- off initiative. We went further, in the 2010/2011 Budget and allocated more resources, first, to ensure that all ongoing ESP projects were completed and, secondly, to initiate new interventions under health, education, fish enterprise development, agriculture, irrigation, youth employment and support for ASALs. To implement these much needed initiatives, I provided Kshs21 billion in addition to Kshs14.5 billion allocated directly under the CDF. We did this well aware of the need to address, on a sustainable manner, the high level of under-development and challenges facing our people at the local level. In this Budget, we have, once again, made adequate provision to ensure that all ongoing ESP-related projects are fully completed throughout the country, as well as introduce new interventionist projects at the constituency level to ensure regional equity and lay a foundation for rapid rural development, consistent with the spirit of our new Constitution."
