    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to say that is one of the positive aspects of the new Constitution and this, again, is a question of the effectiveness to which resources would be decentralized. We have to bear in mind that this House and this country has adopted a new Constitution where resource allocation is going to be very specific to various counties and in that process, we should be able to have a more structured approach to how these resources can actually reach out from the centre to the respective rural areas that most of us come from. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member for Rongai wanted to know the actual figures but I would require a little more time on this matter because the reality is that we have had the initial meetings bringing together the Ministries that deal with food and drought related problems in this country and we are asking them to put specific focus. It may call even for reallocation within their Votes and, therefore, for the actual figure I would like to be able to say that this is an issue that I am prepared to avail to the House a little later once the Ministries have tied up specific numbers which we can put across. The other issue that I just want to touch on is the issue raised by hon. Mututho and Ms. Karua. Ms. Karua raised the issue of the PricewaterHouseCoopers Audit Report. At this stage, I can only say that I would like to seek your indulgence so that I can come back on this specific issue, if need be, next Wednesday. I will issue PricewaterHouseCoopers report on the maize problem."
