    "content": " Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. When this matter first came to this House, I raised it and the Committee has acknowledged that in the background. The manner in which the ICT hubs and the process of arriving at them was undertaken by the NG-CDF violated the clear provisions of Sections 24 and 27 of the NG-CDF Act. These issues speak to question of public participation which is now entrenched in our Constitution. These projects must also be beneficial to community members. Even though some of us appreciate the importance of the ICT Hubs, I am glad that the Committee found and recommended that they must be made optional so that as in the case of Limuru Constituency and any other constituency which decides that the community needs this project, it can prioritise it. In respect to constituencies which have pending projects, which are of higher priority, the funds should be released to the constituency and the NG-CDF so that they can proceed with them."
