    "content": "Having said that, I would like to mention the issue of where are all these good roads that are being talked of being constructed in this country. It is important that, Mr. Minister, you do not underrate and under play the issues raised by hon. Members on the issue of equity. It is now evident in this country that the best roads in the country tend to be skewed in favour of the executive authority of the country. Thus in the first Government of President Kenyatta, the best roads in this country were found in Central Province and Mt. Kenya area. In the rein of Moi, the best roads were found in the Rift Valley. Now in the current reign of President Kibaki and the Prime Minister, we are now seeing for the first time, we can drive to Western because you are able to reach Kisumu maybe, because they want the Prime Minister to be reaching home on good roads. But what happened, Mr. Minister? Do you not think that the people of Western Province have a stake in this country? We pay tax. We do not want to wait until we shall be presidents. We want the road between Kisumu-Kakamega-Webuye-Kitale to be done. For your information, how come you do not know that,that is trans African Highway- all the way from Isebania- Kisii to Kisumu? Even in his report, the projects that he forgets, he has now indicated here that when he eventually go to this road, he will move from Isebania, come to Kisii and when he reaches Kisumu, he will not continue to where he is supposed to go, but he will then detour and go to Ahero. Why are you doing this?"
