    "content": "Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I just stand to support the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in terms of the Chemususu Dam which was mentioned. It is true that we want to work with the funds which have been allocated and which we have agreed together with the Treasury. We have agreed to put Kshs200 million in Chemususu Dam. Initially, we thought we could do with Kshs400 million but because of the deficit, we have agreed to start with Kshs200 million. Let them start the treatment works and shortly we shall be in another financial year. At that time, I am sure we shall be able to get the balance of the resources. The same goes for Umaa and Kiserian dams. At the beginning, of course, there was no such allocation but it is the wisdom of the Budget and Appropriations Committee that we put that initial money. We are saying that when you are doing treatment works, is not like taking a walk into a pair of suit which you can put on immediately and go. It requires a bit of design, meaning it will take a bit of time for those jobs to be completed. Therefore, the Kshs200 and the amounts which have gone to Umaa and Kiserian dams is enough is to start us off in this particular year."
