    "content": " Thank you. I appreciate you, Hon. Speaker, because having served in the House, you understand that Members have needs in the constituencies. I want to ask a question which is similar to what the Member for Gichugu has raised. Mine is a policy issue. When the construction of a road commences and then stops because of lack of funds, resumption of works should not be at the charity of the Cabinet Secretary. It should be a policy in the Ministry that funds must be allocated. Currently, only two or three kilometres of construction remain on the Sindo-Mbita Road. I was there last week. You can spend almost one hour on that road because they messed it up. We cannot delegate the construction to the KURA, but when this young man called Morara wants to attack, he goes to my constituency. He went to Hon. Caroli’s side of Suba, but because Hon. Caroli is still relatively new, he was attacking me and saying, “Hon. Millie, what are you doing?” I am not the one constructing those roads; it is the national Government. We are not allocating money for routine maintenance. What is the Ministry’s policy? If you do not have a policy, can you come up with one for the regular maintenance of roads? This is so that it is not dependent on the charity of a given cabinet secretary, but it is given that funds must be allocated. Even if I wanted to fund the construction of that road, I cannot do anything, yet only a small portion remains that KeRRA can handle."
