    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important matter and I join my colleagues to discuss it. If you go to constituencies and compare what KeRRA does with what the counties do, it is obvious. There is nothing on-going that has been done by the governors. They now want to take the little that we do in the constituencies through KeRRA, to add to what they usually do - which is non-existent. We shall oppose this. I join my colleagues in telling the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to be vigilant so that we can safeguard the little that wananchi see. Let me go to a specific example in my constituency, Keiyo South. In Keiyo South, I have six wards. None of the county roads is on-going, but there is something that is being done in the constituency by KeRRA. There is something that was done last year; there is something on-going, and one can see something which was done two years ago. As counties do those roads, they do shoddy work. As the National Assembly, we should speak in one voice that let this money be left with KeRRA because the mwananchi has seen the benefit of what KeRRA does. Ridiculously, if you come to my constituency, some officials from the county tell people not to do a certain road because they have already given it to KeRRA, but they do nothing. Once a road is done using KeRRA money, they erect a sign post that indicates that it is the county which has done the road. We shall stop this and we shall not allow this to take place as the National Assembly. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
