    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank my brother, Sen. Kinyua, Senator, Laikipia County, who is also the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I have gone through this statement and reluctantly accepted the information given here. With regard to the first question, we have a figure of Ksh261,252,814, which is a lot of money. This is in theory because when you go on the ground, it has not impacted on the communities living there. It is unfortunate when people sit in Nairobi and give answers to questions without visiting the ground. They need to go on the ground and practically report what is happening there. I wish I can have an opportunity to sit, one-on-one with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of the Ministry of Devolution and National Planning because I would ask him to change their strategy when allocating this money to relevant departments. The chairperson has given a figure of Khs72 million to the beneficiaries with regard to money transfer. This is a lot of money. Could they have better strategies of how this money is disbursed to individuals because it is not done in a transparent manner? Personally, I feel that this money has not helped people of Isiolo. Question No.3 is on issues of water downstream which is a big problem to our people. When the Ministry says various institutions are involved in ensuring that water reaches downstream, but I believe some of them like Ewaso Nyiro North Development Authority (ENNDA) is a dead entity. ENNDA is literally doing nothing. At some stage, 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."
