    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are so many clarifications that have been sought. Although I just got the response this afternoon, I will endeavor to respond to the ones I can. The ones I am unable, I will give the response next week. I would also like to remind the Senate Minority Leader that my fuse is okay, it is his that needs to be checked. This is a multi-sectoral agency. It involves all the Ministries and county governments which I mentioned earlier. We have heard that even the county governments are signing or re-allocating some funds as provided for in the Constitution, in the Fourth Schedule; which gives the county governments the authority on what to be done by the National and county government. I want to say that I do not have the details of every county, and I think it is prudent. I will get the details of the amount as signed per county and those which have been used. It is good to apportion those that have been used because they are ongoing activities. In some of the counties, there are no activities. I will give a detailed breakdown on the cost next week. The Kshs5 billion is from the National Treasury. There are also some Ministries that have set aside some of the funding. For example; like Ministry of Water and Irrigation is providing plastics, water dams and pans in some of the areas. So, they are using the funds within the Ministry. I will get all the details about the monies which have been used by various Ministries and also the county governments, so that we can exactly come up with the figure and say we have spent Kshs20 billion or Kshs30 billion earmarked for El Nino . The detailed document will provide that. On the issue of infrastructure, that also depends on how much of this kitty had, if it is Kshs5 billion which had been earmarked for its re-allocation, like what Sen. Elizabeth asked. On the relocation of the people living along the river banks, I will give the details of how much has been earmarked and what activities are ongoing now and even in terms of the infrastructure. I have seen that there is a weekly, report or brief to the Committee, which is being done always. It shows every county like in Vihiga, there is a school which was flooded and collapsed, I will give those details. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
