    "content": "The Report he has just given us is quite detailed by annexing how every constituency is performing. Indeed, we have not received all our monies. Chairman, please, push so that we can get those monies and complete our projects. I have heard that the money is with the NG- CDF Board. Back to the question that was on the Floor on fairness, the NG-CDF Committee is fairer than other committees in this House. In fact, before we crucify the NG-CDF Committee, we should first deal with certain committees in this House. It takes courage to speak on this matter honestly. When I went to the Budget Office, I looked at the number of roads and the amount of money that had been allocated to Emuhaya Constituency and it was shocking. If you were to see it, you would empathise with me. The money was less than Ksh30,000. There are constituencies that get up to Ksh500 million for roads. The Members of the affected Committee are in this House. They are supposed to take care of all the Members of Parliament because it is not possible for all of us to be in all the committees. Another example is the Departmental Committee on Energy. I can see a few of the Members are now looking down. You know my slogan is: “Look at me in the eye.” It is a shame. It requires boldness to speak on this. I used to sit on the Opposition side when I was in NASA. Sometimes, people imagine that when you are on the Government side, you will be favoured. Even though I am on the Government side, I can tell you that I have never been given any power project in my constituency and yet, there are constituencies that have been given projects worth Ksh400 million and Ksh500 million. So, as we go for the long recess, we should also take care of the Departmental Committee on Energy because we do not know what they are doing. This House is for everybody and the energy money is for all the Kenyans."
