    "content": "In Migori County, the establishment of a fish processing plant and conversion of the Migori Teachers Training College (TTC) into a fully pledged university. In West Pokot County, a honey processing plant, construction of West Pokot airstrip and repair and rehabilitation of the bridge on Makutano-Kacheliba Road. In West Pokot, we have a honey processing plant, conversion of Migori TTC into a university, construction of West Pokot Airstrip and repair and rehabilitation of bridges on the Makutano-Kacheliba Road. I do not want to go through the entire list. I will ask that you add me one minute to conclude just on the public participation because, Hon. Deputy Speaker, you remember from the 11th Parliament, this has been a very touchy issue. We decided, as the Budget and Appropriations Committee, this time round to be a bit magnanimous and go even to counties that are not represented in this Committee to ensure that over the next four years, we cover all the counties. Even in the counties we visited, people from neighbouring counties came but we were not able to accommodate them within the resource envelop. So, we had to recommend them for future allocation of resources. I do not want to go through the entire list because all these issues are highlighted in our Report. Hon. Members will be able to go through the entire list. It is worth noting from the allocations and the deductions that we have effected in respect of various ministries; as I mentioned, the NYS has lost Kshs8.24 billion. In respect of other MDAs that have been mentioned adversely in both PIC and PAC reports and other reports, or those MDAs which are under investigations by investigative agencies, we have also made effort to deduct funds allocated to them and reallocate the same resources to other critical areas."
