    "content": "Hon. Speaker, what the Chairman is confirming to me is that the constituency committees and the ward committees are no longer part of this arrangement. That being the case, I am happy to say that I support the Report. When you look at the CDF Act, 2013 and specifically Clause 36(1) there is a clear provision of what we call the County Projects Committee. It is expected to serve the same purpose as this Committee where people are expected to sit and share information. As a result of sharing information, we will avoid duplication of efforts so that we do not have projects which the county government is planning for and the CDF is also planning for. This brings about conflict in terms of implementation. Once those two levels have been done away with, I think this is the kind of board I have been looking forward to. This is a board in which we will sit as elected Members of Parliament together with the governor and his team. We will then make inquiry, for example, in a particular county we will ask what their key priorities in terms of projects and programmes are. Out of those key projects and programmes we will be able to identify which projects or programmes need to be undertaken by the county government and at the same time agree on which projects and programmes should be undertaken by the CDF. With that agreement, I can promise that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
