    "content": "On the question of criteria used to share the money amongst the counties, Section 18(1) of the Public Finance Management- Uwezo Fund Regulations, provides the criteria for the allocation of funds at constituency level as follows. (a) A one-off three per cent for administration fee shall be charged on the total fund and retained by the board for the purpose of facilitating both national and constituency level administration. (b) An amount not exceeding eight percent shall be earmarked for capacity building of the fund beneficiaries and groups. (c) The balance of the fund is sent to the constituencies. Out of that, 75 per cent shall be allocated equally across all the constituencies. The remaining 25 per cent shall be disbursed based on the poverty index. That is the way it is shared out among the constituencies. The actual figures are in Annex 1, which is available in the documents at the Clerk’s Office. On the question of how much money was received by Tana River County for the two years, I have indicated there that they received Kshs55 million and Kshs 1.8 million, respectively. On the question inquiring about the extent to which the Uwezo Fund has benefitted residents of the county, Kshs55.89 million was spent on development by that county and there is a detailed schedule on how it was spent; 352 groups benefitted from that. On the question requiring me to state who the beneficiaries of the Fund are by constituency, name, Identification (ID) number and many others, Annex 2 provide the specific details of individual groups which benefitted, as well as a list of all Uwezo Fund projects in each of the constituencies of Tana River County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in brief, that is the statement that was sought by the Senator for Tana River County on Uwezo Fund."
