"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I want to start by congratulating the Minister for the good job that he is doing at the Ministry. This is witnessed by the various projects that we are seeing across the country. It is also true that the Ministry has to justify what it is doing with the huge allocation of resources that they are receiving. The point that I am trying to make is that even when it comes to the choice of projects, I want to endorse the sentiments raised by my colleagues who have just spoken, that it is very important for the Ministry to justify why it allocates funds to a particular road and not another one. We know of an era where some roads would be done and they would be so âidleâ that farmers would use them to dry maize. We do not want to see a repeat of that in this era. I have a case in my constituency where a road stretching from one area to another, being diverted to another area just because there are some prominent people who are residing there. They leave out a huge area where there are many people. Actually, the money being used is Fuel Levy Fund where Kenyans are contributing on the basis of the fuel that they consume. So, that criteria is very critical."
