    "content": "If it is not there, then perhaps further auditing has to be done to find out what really is the situation. The amount of funds allocated for capacity building is an amount that has been used. It is explained in the reply that it was used for the purpose of purchasing seeds and also capacity building for the farmers. The Senator also wanted to know why the county government is not engaged. I agree that in this era, there is devolution. We appreciate that the project started when county governments were not there. Now that the county government is in place, there is no reason why the NIB or the Ministry in charge should not engage the county government. However, the officers who were implementing this project are the same officers of the county government. So, we cannot really say that that they are not involved. They are involved although at the governor’s level, I do not know whether there is co-operation between the national Government and the county government. If it is not there, then certainly, agriculture is a devolved function and it is necessary that the two levels of Government work together. Mr. Speaker, Sir, concerning when the bids were placed, my response indicates when the tenders were awarded, who was awarded the contract and the year. I believe that is already answered. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
