    "content": "That is fundamental and important because we have had skewed development in this country, where some regions have had more resources compared to others. Some areas have been purposely under-developed and under-served because of political reasons. We want to know the status of those projects. I urge the Ministry of the National Treasury and Economic Planning to ensure that it submits to the National Assembly the development projects per county and constituency by 30th April 2025. I want to see how much has been invested in my constituency, and how many projects are ongoing in my county generally. I also want to see how many projects are ongoing in the constituency and county of the presiding speaker. We want to ascertain whether what was said yesterday is true. It was alleged that some constituencies have benefited more from budgetary allocations compared to others. We want to understand why some regions have more budgetary allocations than others. That geographical information is very important and we will wait for it on 30th April 2025 in Parliament. Parliament is also requesting for a list of development projects that are earmarked for completion. That is because there are very many incomplete projects from the last regime. For political reasons, they would start a project and we would clap for them. However, after some time, the project would stall. A contractor constructs about a kilometre of road and then he disappears. That has led to many issues. Interest rates on loans have continued to skyrocket and yet, projects remain incomplete."
