    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I want to add one thing to the debate on roads. The problem and the people who are fighting Members of Parliament on this issue of roads are not even governors. It is the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). That is our problem as a House. This is not the first time they have done a circular which they have withdrawn. There was an earlier one - and I hope the Chairman remembers - where they were also reducing the amount and the House raised the matter and they withdrew it. It is the same thing they are doing. Why is KeRRA and the Kenya Roads Board not consulting Parliament before they take such drastic action? Hon. Speaker, it is high time the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure, through their Chairman, reminds KeRRA and KRB who their bosses are in Kenya here, and who is overseeing their operations. Instead of dealing with the Council of Governors and such kind of people, when they want their budget even processed, they go through the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure in this House. It is the same group that is fighting the Members of Parliament. Hon. Speaker, we also need to deal with KeRRA and KRB once and for all."
