    "content": "There is also a conditional grant which has been given for maintenance of roads. It is a lot of money. We are talking about Kshs4.3 billion. This is the weakest connection at the county level in terms of the amount of money available and the facilities for road construction and road maintenance. The county governments have been urging that they need to stop Members of Parliament or the National Government Constituencies Development Fund from maintaining roads within our own areas of representation. Governors have done extremely shoddy job. Most of the works they have undertaken have been done badly. The few works that have been done have turned out to be very costly. It is important for us in this House to put the county governments on notice that, as the House that provides oversight, we will monitor the way public resources are being spent. We will make sure that the public gets value for money. From the information we have, on average every county will receive about Kshs100 million for repair and maintenance of roads. This is an initiative we have to monitor and ensure that it succeeds."
