    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to also weigh in and support this Motion by Sen. Agnes Kavindu of Machakos. This Motion is timely because it is trying to question why the Government of Kenya and county governments have not addressed or mitigate the ongoing flooding problem that we have in the country. This Sunday, I was stuck on the road between Majengo and Luanda for one hour. We had a big gulley just around Kima and the Ministry of Roads and Transport blocked the road. People were unable to pass yet, this road connects to Kisumu, Siaya and even Busia Counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, we are having challenges with our road networks because of this flooding problem. I know the Government through the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) has made arrangements to send about Kshs3.5 billion to the counties. However, I was perturbed that the distribution of those funds is skewed. There is no proper criteria that was used to distribute those funds. Out of the 47 counties that received Kshs3.58 billion, four counties received nothing. These counties include my own county, Vihiga, Samburu, Lamu and Garissa."
