    "content": "had launched the project, but the road was not being constructed. So, the whole blame comes back to the Government, and more so to the President who launched the project when the actual nitty-gritty on the ground is by the respective entities that did not perform their duties as expected. For example, asking this contractor to pay the money to Government taxes as required, so as to be paid the money to continue with construction of the road. What is also very interesting is that in Kakamega County there is a road that does not require the National Treasury money – it is a World Bank-funded project – but it has kind of stalled. The project has not yet been completed. I also raised the same question to the Cabinet Secretary. No one is talking about that, and also it paints the Government negatively when indeed there is money for it from the World Bank. I would support Mheshimiwa particularly for his complaint because this is affecting most of us for the roads that have not been completed. You find that when they have stalled, the roads normally have huge potholes. Some of them are now acting as rivers on our roads to the point that bodabodas all over the country are demonstrating with banana seedlings and stems; demonstrating against Members of Parliament, President and the Government. I support. Thank you."
