    "content": "I want to take Members of Parliament and this country down memory lane. I come from a region that has 22 per cent of the land mass of this country, but 47 years after Independence, no road is tarmacked. The only tarmacked road is in my constituency. It is a 20 kilometres road in my constituency in Garissa town which was done the last financial year. If you go to the northern part of Kenya, you will see the discrepancies in terms of education, water and health facilities. This is because the leadership and people of the region were not given the chance to participate in the Budget making process. We had a situation where the bourgeois, big tribes or where those who control Government, those who produce the President and the Prime Minister had the sole responsibility of making sure that water, education and infrastructure were allocated to the few. The larger part of this country where the marginalised and pastoralists live was not catered for. Even in matters of livestock, pastoralists were not given a chance to say what they wanted to be done in the livestock sector."
