    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was going through this breakdown and I am very good at breakdowns. Last time, we did not capture the breakdown which was there, especially in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, where Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) was left without funds. I do not know if we will be rubber stamping this list again. I hope there is something for KERRA in this Report. The money allocated to KERRA, at least, should be twice what was allocated previously. That is the money we need to use in our constituencies for development. The one for Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), I believe, is well captured under the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, Kshs41 billion will be used for development. In the previous year, about Kshs27 billion was supposed to be used for water. In Bomet Central, where I come from, I cannot stand here and say that there is a water project that was done with Kshs27 billion - not even a single one. That is why I am proposing that the money that has been allocated to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources be sent through the county government, so that I may get a little bit of it. Even though the governors may misuse it, I am very sure if that money is allocated to my county, I will be able to fight for it until it reaches my constituency. But when it is lumped here and put under huge water projects which I do not know which corners of this country they are in, with nothing going towards Bomet Central, I think I will be doing a lot of disservice to the people of Bomet Central. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I go through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology section, it will have about Kshs34 billion. Some classrooms in my constituency are in pathetic condition, especially in primary schools. I wish that money could be used in assisting in the construction of classrooms. Where is that money really going? In the last financial year, I wish somebody could inform us whether any project was done anywhere by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in terms of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
