    "content": "money to development. Many are busy devoting money to freebies, and things that are politically expedient and exciting to the masses but not to sustainable things. Members of Parliament, through proper oversight of RMLF, ensure that KeRRA and KURA maintain roads in our counties and constituencies. We have pleaded with the Executive, through the Office of the Deputy President who is the Chairperson of the Intergovernmental Budget Economic Council (IBEC), to call the Council of Governors to order. First, they should withdraw the case that is in court. There is absolutely no reason why Ksh10 billion would be lying idle at a time when we are about to get into the short rains and Kenyans will start complaining about bad roads. They will not access their farms and get farm produce to markets because governors are holding money through a court process. We have asked the Deputy President, through IBEC, to speak to the Council of Governors to first withdraw that case. As a House, we will process the County Additional Allocations Bill without the RMLF. It will never come to the Floor of this House. Let me not talk about courts. RMLF is a live wire that you will never touch on the Floor of this House."
