    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just winding up. I was in the process of saying that the money allocated to infrastructure was very encouraging. But we need to re-look at the priorities that have been given. I want to use a simple example that last year, we were all encouraged by the allocation to the roads. But the distribution of the same funds to cover roads in various regions is what was not understood finally. For example, in the case of Eldoret, we have no road leading to Eldoret Town. The roads to Kitale, Webuye and Cherangany are completely dilapidated. Maybe, you can go to Iten, but the road to Kapsabet is completely damaged. So, as much as infrastructure has been improved in terms of funding, there is need to prioritize and distribute the funding and resources equitably. It was encouraging that most of the funding for part of the infrastructure was going to the constituencies. I think since we recognized the constituencies as units of development in this country, when we do allocations or funding for various infrastructural development, the distribution should show that this Budget is addressing national needs and the nation at large"
