    "content": " Yes. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You are welcome again to Igembe Central. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to encourage and make it clear to the Cabinet Secretary that most of us are not new in this country. We move around our counties every day and we see what KeRRA has done. There is no other fund, especially on roads, that is doing what KeRRA has done. They touch on every common person and the roads that go to the rural areas, which our people depend on for survival in ferrying their products, and enabling movement. Therefore, I encourage the Cabinet Secretary to act swiftly and ensure that our 22 per cent and 10 per cent of the funds remain intact, and are released to the counties and to the general managers of KeRRA so that they reach our constituencies. After these rains, most roads in our areas are impassable. Igembe Central has two sub-counties and one of them is completely unconnected. Without KeRRA funds to repair the roads, people will remain incommunicado. People cannot move from their areas to towns and major centres. I, therefore, I encourage the Cabinet Secretary to release those funds so that our people can survive."
