    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First let me say I appreciate the subcommittee that visited Bungoma County to collect views from the people who travelled for very long distances to come and give their views, specifically in identifying the projects that should be given priority. I am going through their report. I saw clearly that they had captured what they wanted and what the people of Bungoma wanted. I appreciate the subcommittee that was led by Hon. Onyonka. At the same time, I have gone through the final document by the committee that is chaired by Hon. Ichung’wah and the people of Bungoma are very disappointed that none of the projects they identified had been captured. As Parliament, we must give the people of this county the respect that when we get their views and when we come up with the final document, if you just put your own things I think that is not right. I think the people of Bungoma deserve some bit of respect because what they had wanted was to dual the road from Musikoma to Kanduyi and it was very clear. I attended the meeting together with Hon. Wamunyinyi, the Member of Parliament for Kanduyi, but going through the Report that has been tabled in this House, the views of the people of Bungoma have not been captured. Not just the BAC but any other committee that will go out to Kenyans to get their views must actually put their views into the final report as a way of appreciating the spirit of the Constitution that actually makes the role of Kenyans very cardinal in any of that public participation. We, the Members of Parliament from Bungoma, had put in some kind of amendment and we hope once it is approved, we will debate this on the Floor because I would find nothing absolutely to write home about. We support this Budget based on its capturing the interest of the people of Bungoma. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
