    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker. First and foremost, I am applauding the Committee, because they have proved to be budget-makers, unlike the yester years where they were just budget approvers. The budget estimates are well spread, although we needed more in mining, to exploit fully the potential of the Ministry in charge of mining as it is a new sector. I think it is the only sector which will move and transform our GDP to double digit. Areas already prospected and discovered minerals require mineral excellence centers for purposes of awareness and marketing. I am happy with the increment on wildlife as it will enable recruit home rangers. This is a problem that is affecting my constituency - Mwatate Constituency. Marauding elephants with full appetite for maize have made my constituents go hungry because they compete for the same. The Committee has allocated funds to finish road projects like the Voi-Mwatate- Wundanyi Road, which has taken more time than the Treasury promised. Therefore, the expectation from my constituents is that the road will be completed immediately after the Budget is read. Good infrastructure is one of the major boosters of the economy and we can see the allocation to Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) has been increased by Kshs300million. That money is supposed to repair the rural roads. The Budget and Appropriations Committee, although it has done a good job, has not allocated any funds to, at least, one major project in Mwatate Constituency. That was highlighted recently by K24 TV station. We experience serious water problems. The latest report by the Tax Association shows that we have the highest number of school The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
