    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 17th August, 2010 the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance published in the Kenya Gazette the regulations establishing the Water Towers Conservation Fund whose main purpose was to support the restoration, conservation and sustainable management of the Mau Forest Complex and other water towers in Kenya. The question I want to ask the Prime Minister is: How much money was put into this Fund by the Government? Secondly, is he satisfied that the money that was put in that Fund is being utilized for the purpose of reclaiming those forests? We are aware that the Government convened a stakeholders’ meeting and that is where there was a pledge of US$10 million. Could he further clarify how much has come from the pledge that was made and is he satisfied that it is being utilized properly? The information we have is that the members of the Committee that is running that place have huge salaries and the expenses are exaggerated. So, the monies that have been set aside for this, even if the Prime Minister intends it to go that way, may not do the work it is intended to do. Is he satisfied that there are enough financial controls to make sure that the public money and the donor money actually does the work that was supposed to be done?"
