    "content": "As a result, the roads that were being implemented stalled. There are two counties; Isiolo and Turkana counties, whose amount has not been explained properly. Isiolo County still has a pending amount of almost Kshs256 million to implement a bridge and a road that had been identified by the stakeholders. I am just giving a broad perspective of what is happening with the Equalization Fund and the same about Turkana County, with a bridge and a road. In line with the scarce resources available, the Ministry will continue giving emphasis on improvement of roadworks and other infrastructure in Tana River and marginalised counties and country as a whole in order to bring the much-needed development for the betterment of the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a small part of the Lamu-Garissa Road, which is not paved is passing through Tana River County, we have plans to ensure that this road is also paved, so that the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor can be used. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question was that brief even though I have tried to make it elastic. That is the further I can go for purposes of addressing also the concerns of the other marginalised counties."
