    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also commend Hon. Oluoch for the statement that he has sought from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. It is true that there has been a reduction in resources that are going to KeRRA to build roads in villages. The governors who went to court to take a slice of those resources occasioned that reduction. This country has very inept governors. I have been to countries like Ghana and Nigeria, where devolution is practised. In our country, we have lazy governors who just travel across the world and do nothing with the resources that this House gives them. They do not use them properly. They have now resorted to attacking MPs, who are successfully using resources to build roads that can be seen in the constituencies. This House must condemn the governors for going to court to take away KeRRA resources. The resources have been used fairly. You can see the roads that have been constructed by KeRRA if you go to the villages. You will never see any roads that have been constructed by the governors. I ask you not to allow this House to be undermined by the county governors. As the Speaker of this House, ensure that we protect the resources that help Kenyans. I know governors are listening. I urge them to work with the money that they have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
