    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the funds are not a lot, they have been monitored through the offices of District Development Officers, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) programmes and the Millennium Development Goals Commission. I can say before this House that the funds allocated and distributed in the manner they have been distributed cannot have a big impact on poverty eradication. The onus is on this House to ensure that more funds are allocated to the Poverty Eradication Commission, because, as things are today, if we allocate Kshs300 million to that Commission to be shared out to the original 71 districts, we are talking of barely Kshs4 million per district. We all agree that at this time and era, Kshs4 million for projects and poverty eradication is a meagre amount. So, I want to appeal to the House that we need to think about this Commission, and see how we can allocate more money to it."
