    "content": "headquarters of Makueni County. Kona Baridi Bridge connecting Kajiado Central to Kajiado West - Kshs100 million. (5) That, to improve basic infrastructure in public schools, the following allocations be made: In Nakuru County, reconstruction of Solai School - Kshs20 million. These are the two schools that were washed away by flood waters from the Patel Dam, which was an unfortunate incident in Solai, Nakuru County. In Tharaka-Nithi County, construction of classrooms in Kamutuandu Primary School. As you can remember, the Member for Tharaka-Nithi, whom I had seen in this House and the Senator were featured on social media constructing mud-walled classrooms. The Budget and Appropriations Committee has stepped in to ensure that children in this particular school no longer attend a mud-walled school. We have allocated Kshs10 million towards the construction of classrooms and an administration block. In Kirinyaga County, upgrading of St. Augustine Mwea Boys High School in Mwea Constituency - Kshs10 million. (6) That, Kshs20 million be allocated to the Coast General Hospital in Mombasa County for reconstruction of the drugs rehabilitation centre because of challenges of drug abuse in the Coast region. (7) That, Kshs70 million be set aside for the construction of a social innovation centre in Tharaka-Nithi County. (8) That, Kshs40 million be set aside for fencing of the Kapenguria Museum to protect our national heritage for future generations. Hon. Deputy Speaker, given resource constraints, the Committee could not provide for every expenditure request from the public. However, all requests received from the public have been compiled and can be found in Annex II of our Report. Some of the critical needs highlighted by counties not hosting public hearings as well as through written memoranda include the following: From the residents of Kwale County who participated in Mombasa, rehabilitation of Madibwani and Dzuho Ra Mawe primary schools in Kinango. From Meru County, rehabilitation of various roads notably in Imenti South Constituency. In Busia County, the construction of Nambale-Busibwabo-Mundika-Mayenje-Busia Road, which covers Nambale and Matayos constituencies. Hon. Deputy Speaker, even within centres where public hearings were held, not all expenditure needs could be met. Some of the critical needs not allocated resources include: From Marsabit County, construction of two bridges in Sololo region in order to connect Sololo Town to other neighbouring towns and more importantly, control and reduce the effects of floods in the area. The two proposed bridges are Malka Dulacha Qallu and Karibururi. The construction of Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) in Marsabit County to increase health personnel by enhancing local training and construction of the Marsarbit-Wajir Road to open up the region to the neighbouring counties to ease free movement of people and goods. The tarmacking of Moyale-Dabell Road to bitumen standard so as to open the region into other counties for easy movement of people, goods and services."
