Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has been reading to governors daily about the two per cent emergency fund, but when it comes before the Floor, anaturuka . My point is to thank the President. You heard the Governor of Nairobi City County yesterday say that - it is on HANSARD - the national Government has given in cash and kind over Kshs500 million to assist the people of Nairobi City County. We also have the people of Nakuru and Kilifi counties who have been affected. We must thank the national Government and His Excellency President William Ruto for standing with the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rarely support what Sen. M. Kajwang’ brings to the Floor of the House, but in the interest of the nation--- I always support him in the Committee, but not on other issues.

On the final amendment, the county governments, in consultation with the Controller of Budget, provide a budget for the completion of all existing projects. The initiation of new projects ceases until the completion of existing projects. My Chairperson is aware of this issue. In Nandi, we have over 500 incomplete projects. Only one has been completed and this is from an Early Childhood and Development Center (ECD). The Nandi Creameries in Kabiyet is yet to be completed. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am concluding. To put Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in the picture, Sen. M.
