    "content": "You cannot just wake up because you have shifted policy and say, ―Now, all this money goes to shareable revenue for counties and now governors can budget for this money as they please.‖ The question will be: Where shall we get the money to maintain our roads in this country? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, unless there is a substantive amendment of the relevant laws governing the management of the RMLF, that suggestion and proposal should not be entertained. There is another issue and I said I sit in the Committee on Roads and Transportation that deals with infrastructure. For the longest time - and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., I am very sure will have something to say about this at some point - five counties in this country have been given a special grant to construct county headquarters. These counties are Tharaka Nithi, Isiolo where Sen. Halake comes from, Lamu, Nyandarua and Tana River. Year-in, year-out, there are budgetary allocations for the construction of these headquarters and there are no reports as to how far they have gone with the construction, how much money has been expended, how much work has been done or how much work is remaining. I think there will be need for full disclosure on this item because it is even appearing in the BPS for this year. It is important for us to know where this money goes or how far we have gone with construction of these headquarters. It is not an open-ended grant. We cannot be on this grant forever."
