    "content": "I want to speak about the Economic Stimulus Programme, which is allocated Kshs53.7 billion. This is not enough, but it is appreciated because it is a step in the right direction. The programmes must be designed in a gender friendly manner. We have young men and women. When you talk about the Kazi Mitaani Programme and people are removing garbage from a place, the functions are more male related than women can do, and this becomes a problem. The Economic Stimulus Programmes must not leave anyone behind. I have seen with appreciation that part of the allocation within the Economic Stimulus Programme will go towards flood mitigation. People are saying that they will no longer accept that there are floods after every year and then you take them food and blankets. We are looking at long-term solutions. We are thankful that there is an allocation towards the Soin-Koru Dam, which is much appreciated. There is also allocation for dykes which we hope will be constructed in Homa Bay County all the way from Karachuonyo, Rangwe, Suba North and Suba South constituencies. We will use this money to construct dykes and gabions which will deal with flooding in the long-term."
