    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to support this Report by the able Chairman, Hon. GK. Indeed, I want to pick it up from where our senior, Hon. Keynan, left it. Hon. Chairman, make it very difficult for someone next time to try and joke with this House. Please do not stop there. You know a kangaroo gathering somewhere cannot sit to usurp powers of this House and on that strength, a Director-General makes far reaching recommendations that are going to affect our operations as Members of this Parliament. In our constituencies, the KeRRA performs better than counties in terms of roads. Many times, we have been forced to do county roads. I am doing about five of them this time under special funds from KeRRA. We do not see where the money for counties goes. In fact, Hon. Chairman, look at ways of how we are going to increase this Fund because it is the only working Fund on the ground. It is shameful that governors are unable to manage that which they have and they feel they can come and grab that which we are trying to manage. The KeRRA money is the only money that works on the ground. In many of county roads, governors are hiding behind us because we are the people who are asked in meetings. When you stand anywhere in a function, when a road is bad, people do not even go for the governor, they come for the Member of Parliament. Let us legislate effectively to ensure that we have a way of this Fund increasing periodically, after a year or two. Let the money keep increasing so that not only can we be handling earth roads, but we are able to even handle the tarmac roads. It is absurd and unimaginable how this Director-General is still in office. Hon. Chairman, crack that man. In fact, we want that Director-General to come to your Committee. Summon him here so that he answers questions, ili iwe funzo kwa wale Director-Generals wengiwakora ambao wanafikiri watatumiwa na Executive kuendelea kudunisha Jumba hili."
