    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the last financial year, 2009/2010, this constituency was allocated a budget of Kshs16.8 million. The hon. Member, indeed, gave Kalukuni Secondary School as one of his priorities to be implemented during that financial year. But when our officers from the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) looked at the risks of the project that the hon. Member had given, there was Kivingoni Secondary School which cost Kshs4.7 million. Then, there was Mayuni Secondary School which cost Kshs6 million. So, there was a balance of another Kshs6 million. So, they thought it was prudent to implement the project which was worth Kshs6 million, instead of the one which was worth Kshs4 million because it would have left a balance of Kshs2 million. So, it was more economical and a better use of resources in the constituency to exhaust the entire Kshs16 million budget through completion of those three projects. However, the Kalukuni Secondary School project which was costing Kshs4.4 million is being completed this year because the budget allocation for this year is Kshs10.4 million. So, we are spending the budget for this year to complete the project which was started last year."
