    "content": "Secondly, the roads are in a very poor state. I have been hearing from the last regime that 10,000 kilometres of roads have been constructed. I am not good in mathematics, but when I try to divide the 10,000 by the 47 counties that we have, I found out that what we got in Taita Taveta as a whole was only 40 kilometres of tarmacked road. I think our county has been short- changed. In terms of development, we found out that some counties are more developed. They are getting more development than our county. I am requesting our new Government to allocate Taita Taveta some money in the next Budget for the construction of some more kilometres so that we can have access to our homes through those tarmacked roads. That is my request. Another challenge my constituency is facing is the problem of water. We have been having a lot of problems in terms of getting water. In fact, it is very scarce in Mwatate Constituency. I am now requesting the Government, through this honourable House, if it can organise so that we can tap water from Taveta. We have got a lot of water from Taveta which is our neighbouring constituency, almost 80 kilometres away. I urge the Government to tap the water to Mwatate to help our people there to get enough water for domestic use and irrigation."
