    "content": "Finally, I am glad that the issue of public hearings is coming in April when the Budget and Appropriations Bill comes to the House. However, let us get some reasoning. I would like the Chairman to hear where the bone of contention is. One, is the money for public hearings or is it for development projects? If you say it is for public hearing, for some of us who have done civic education that money is like for travelling here and there. But, according to the explanation we are getting it looks like the money has been allocated for development. If it is for development another question arises. If the Committee is saying that it cannot hear views from Homa Bay because they need money, what if it does not go to Pokot? Where will the Pokot get money for development? You cannot travel in every constituency because we have 290 constituencies. Even if we buy them an aeroplane today for the Committee, they cannot travel within the times that are provided. I urge the Chairman, whom I respect and who does not have ulterior motive because he is Christian to consider the issue. I advise the Committee that if the Pokot say they want water, it should recommend to the Ministry in charge of water to provide water and also recommend to Parliament to appropriate money for the water project in April.
