Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand here to support this amendment because the Mover has moved it so that there can be equity. I really want to confirm that the County Headquarters for Tharaka Nithi County is incomplete. It is halfway to go. The purpose of this amendment is to rationalise the amount of money which is available under this Vote.

George Sunkuyia, MP for Kajiado West, on 19th February 2019. ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. From the outset, I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for this Report. I also appreciate that we are towards the tail end of the financial year. When we come to the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, the water sector is basically funded by donors, especially dams. In the implementation of the projects, the absorption of the approved funds was quite low, hence the National Treasury has recommended the rationalisation of this Budget. We have the unfortunate issue of the Itare Dam where the contractor pulled out. In ...
