    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I rise to support. The roads sub-sector is a key enabler to the realisation of the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda of the Kenya Kwanza Government. With good road allocations, our people can access markets, schools, and healthcare services. We will also be able to access our farms and other facilities to help our people better their lives. Any additional allocation is greatly welcome by our Committee, and I thank the Chairman for the additional allocation. We will distribute this money in the right way. The road sub-sector has pending bills of about Ksh160 billion. The latest allocation of Ksh250 billion may look like a lot of money, but when we factor in the unpaid bills and payments that are committed to our roads, it is not a lot of money. We would have wanted this Department to be allocated about Ksh500 billion (half a trillion) to be able to carry out the on-going road works. I support."
