    "content": "I saw a recommendation proposing removal of funds from the tourism recovery programme to Ushanga Kenya Initiative. We should have added more money towards the development and further promotion of tourism activities in this country. The other recommendation that I support is on the water sector which lies under the committee of Parliament that I sit in. The Government of Kenya has left a lot of water programmes to donors who easily fund programmes in towns where the returns on investments are fast, leaving the rural constituencies unattended to. The Budget and Appropriations Committee’s proposal to give Kshs200 million to the Northern Water Services Board is a welcome move because it is an area that is largely ignored and they have the needs of water like any other people in the Republic of Kenya. So, water must follow the energy sector where we have the last mile. We should encourage and give resources to the Ministry of Water and Sanitation to start the last mile provision of water to the rural communities of this country, so that we can easily achieve the agenda on food security."
