    "content": "There is even a vote called 10 per cent that this Parliament must look at properly, which says it is the Cabinet Secretary’s allocation. Do you know 10 per cent of the roads’ money is Ksh7 billion? The Ksh7 billion can do a tarmac road of not less than 100 kilometres. If you allow that kind of money to go to one person to decide who to give or not, then we must relook that vote. It affects us. It will look like the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) matter that was brought here yesterday, where some parts of the country are skewed and others are not benefitting at all. Parliament must check the excesses of the Executive. All members across board have roads. Roads not only affect people who are in Kenya Kwanza or Azimio la Umoja- One Kenya Alliance, but all Kenyans. The people of Kenya must enjoy those benefits. We will ask the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to relook this 10 per cent in the Cabinet Secretary’s vote, so as to sort out critical areas in our constituencies in a fair and justifiable manner."
