    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the funding of major projects by the national Government. In the Statement, the committee should - (i) Outline at least two major projects per county for the each of the 47 counties being undertaken by the national Government, and state the amount of money allocated for each project. (ii)State the commencement and expected completion dates for each of the projects; and, (iii)State the status of completion for each project, including some projects that were proposed for Taita Taveta, including Zima II and the tarmacking of Bura-Mgenge- Yoruya-Mbale-Mtomogoti Road projects in Taita-Taveta. Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, the thrust of this Statement is that when we were opening the debt ceiling, we were told that if we do not open it, then the funding for projects in counties would not be possible. As we pay the debts, we want all the counties to benefit from the projects that are being undertaken by the national Government. As I said earlier, we were told that we might not fund the ongoing and new projects if we do not open the debt ceiling. If we are to borrow more, is it possible to know the kind of projects we are borrowing for which are ongoing. Could we be told projects undertaken in each county by the national Government? When will they be completed? This is quite a straightforward Statement. I am waiting for the response."
