"content": "The Ministry had put the cart before the horse by telling us that we had to put aside about Kshs 4 million. It was actually less than that but the figure kept growing. This could have been a very serious audit query in the constituencies. There are more demanding issues in each and every constituency which need to be addressed before the digital innovation hubs. In as much as I support digitization for our youths and even ourselves so that we can communicate easily, there are other priority areas. There are some students who attend classes which are made of timber, iron sheets and others are grass thatched. These are some of the schools that we should give priority to. If we are to get these hubs, we need to outsource across the board, not the Ministry to come and dictate it to us. Why do they dictate to us how we should use the NG-CDF whereas the Act itself is very clear that you have to go to the people who then decide what they need? The Ministry has its budget and they can budget for it and give the money to the schools. One of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
