    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My concern is about the targeting of sub-counties. I would like to give am example of Kitui County, where only Kitui Central Sub-County and Mwingi Central Sub-County are benefitting. It becomes difficult to explain to our constituents that a constituency is totally left out. You realise that the same sub- counties are the ones benefitting from the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) because they are labelled as urban sub-counties. So, I request the Chair to take the approach of the National Youth Service (NYS) that we had in 2016 and 2017, where we reached many youths in all sub- counties so that it does not disadvantage Members of Parliament. My constituents ask me how comes Mutomo and Ekwotha are seen to be better off than Kitui Central and Mwingi Central in terms of ability to offer employment. So, it is better when they cut across all sub-counties instead of identifying a few sub-counties. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
