    "content": "link-roads between constituencies. If I give the example, between Naivasha Constituency and Kipiripiri, there is a road, D390, that links us together. However, one portion of that road is actually more on the Naivasha side than on the Kipipiri side. If the money was to be distributed equally to do that link road, I would have more money than I need and Naivasha will be denied the money that they need. I can see the spirit of wanting to have equitable or equal distribution of money. But when we put it within the law, it will be very difficult to reverse. I would like to persuade hon. Ethuro, knowing the terrain of the district where he comes from, and the need for money in those areas, not to deny those people that money by saying he should be given the same money as Kitale which, probably, does not require as much. Let us also be careful that we do not deny the people in the areas that are totally marginalised by distributing our money equally, even to areas that do not need. I would like to persuade hon. Ethuro that this area can be captured within the subsidiary legislation in terms of how this will be done. But as of now, let us first of all, pass the money. It is a new thing. We have time to come back to this House and with the benefit of the Roads Committee, to look at the way it is being used and then we can get the law to address if there is any misuse. As of now, I would like to persuade, hon. Ethuro to withdraw the proposed amendment, so that we make progress."
