    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yesterday, we had many questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport. However, I need to tell the Chairman that whenever the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport comes here, many Members want to ask questions because they feel that the responses that the State Department gives are not guaranteed. I want the Chairman to confirm that, in the last two financial years, the State Department spent Ksh400 billion on roads. Our concern is that some roads that were in the programme in the last two regimes have been left out, and they have now started constructing new roads with the Ksh400 billion. We want to understand the criterion that is being used because we have taken proposals to their offices. Roads are very important because they connect countries, counties and constituencies. However, you will find one constituency in this Republic - and I do not want to mention it - that has been allocated a huge amount of money by the same Ministry. It is either because the Member of Parliament sits in a certain Committee or is able to manoeuvre. You will even find a road constructed to connect a church to another one and yet, there are areas in this country that do not have a single road."
