    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion and basically to respond to the Member who has just spoken. I come from Meru County and I would like to take the Members step by step on the process of coming up with project funds and how project funds are allocated. You realize that most of this money we are talking about today is under Part II of the Fourth Schedule of our Constitution in terms of the devolved programmes or the devolved activities under devolution, agriculture, medical services and others fall under Part II of the Fourth Schedule. Projects are designed based on the project activities themselves as discussed by the stakeholders and agreed upon. The project money apportionment depends on the activities that are going to be conducted in those areas. First of all, I rise on a point of order. I did not think this Motion was brought basically to discuss whether the error came from Meru or not. So, the Member is out of order to bring in specific issues here and discussing Meru as a case. Meru is a county; it is not a case. I would like us to look at what are the activities that have been funded. I would like to thank the person who discovered this error because one of the things he or she has done accurately and effectively is to put this House out of this disrepute because it could have been blatantly passed and later on discovered that it has such a major error. I speak from the background of having participated specifically in the design and development of the project on the National Agricultural Inclusive Growth Project. This project takes into account many factors including the important attributes of climate change response which basically falls under mitigation and adaptation measures. When you look at some of these measures, it depends on where these activities are taking place. So, the magnitude of the activities themselves will basically speak to the amount of money that is going to be apportioned to those areas if those activities are going to have the necessary impact. The design of some of the loans and grants that are given by the World Bank especially are basically dependent on specific areas in view of the magnitude of the problem under the negotiations which normally occur before the project agreement is signed. Normally, there is an agreement on how much money should be apportioned to a specific activity in a specific area.
