This being a Government resource into which all of us put contributions, we would want to get a firm undertaking from the Assistant Minister that he will revise it and make sure that even in the rural constituencies, such as Garsen, there will be a beneficiary of this grant. If you go by this open competition thing, we will have just Nairobi centrism; the whole thing will be a Nairobi affair and then the rest of us will be excluded from it. Could we have a firm undertaking that the Assistant Minister will comply with the spirit and letter of the new Constitution?"}
