The box culverts you have mentioned are within that remaining section. Once again, I submit."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yesterday, we had many questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport. However, I need to tell the Chairman that whenever the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport comes here, many Members want to ask questions because they feel that the responses that the State Department gives are not guaranteed. I want the Chairman to confirm that, in the last two financial years, the State Department spent Ksh400 billion on roads. Our concern is that some roads that were in the programme in the last two regimes have been left out, and they have now started constructing new roads with the Ksh400 billion. We want to understand the criterion that is being used because we have taken proposals to their offices. Roads are very important because they connect countries, counties and constituencies. However, you will find one constituency in this Republic - and I do not want to mention it - that has been allocated a huge amount of money by the same Ministry. It is either because the Member of Parliament sits in a certain Committee or is able to manoeuvre. You will even find a road constructed to connect a church to another one and yet, there are areas in this country that do not have a single road."

"content": "Therefore, through the Speaker, I want to ask the Chairman to, if possible, give us a report of how roads are allocated to constituencies or counties. That way, we will not have a certain area in the country getting more allocation than others. We would like to know the criterion that you are using."

Looking at the budget that we passed about three months ago, I did not see such a figure allocated to the Ministry of Roads and Transport. Therefore, that assertion is completely out of order in terms of figures."

When you go to Western, Nyanza, or Mombasa, you will find constituencies that have never even received Ksh200 million. Do not take us round in circles. You know the truth, that in 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 financial years, a lot of money has been spent on roads."
