    "content": "I speak for my Keiyo South Constituency. I have three types of topographies there. The highlands, the hanging valley and the lowlands - that is the Kerio Valley. We have the Kerio Escarpment in the space between Kerio Valley and the highlands. Its transport is very challenging. As we speak, because of the challenging topography, we are still trying to develop roads. If you take the little money we get through KeRRA, where will I get money to develop those very challenging roads? As we speak, as much as my people from Kabiemit Ward in Keiyo South Constituency know the nature of the roads, they are saying that the Member of Parliament is not doing enough to develop their roads. Little do they know that we get little resources from KeRRA. Now, the same KeRRA wants to take back that little amount of money. With that, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I submit that we support the Report of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. KeRRA needs to stop what it is trying to do. If it wants to do that, let it bring a Bill to this House to amend the Kenya Roads Act. However, I do not think there is a Member of Parliament who will reduce the amount of money that goes to their constituencies."
