    "content": "We have a road that passes through Ndhiwa Law Courts called Ndhiwa-Gaena- Sidede Road. It is a key road in that constituency and it is in my ward. On that road, one cannot use any means of transport other than going on foot. In my constituency, people carry coffins on their heads because of bad roads, something that people stopped doing over 30 years ago. It is for that reason that we ask for the county governments to be given adequate funds that will help them to open roads, put murram on them and make them motorable. Roads are enablers of our economies. Our people; farmers and business people are struggling. The cost of doing business and transporting farm produce is too high because of lack of accessibility. Other than the roads, the county governments have a mandate on water. We are lucky to have heavy rains in our counties, hence, our people have water courtesy of the rains. However, when we get to the dry season, water becomes a problem where we come from. This is because people in the rural areas depend on boreholes and streams. Unfortunately, most of the streams that our people traditionally relied on as sources of water have dried up due to climate change. So, our people have to look for water beyond the required distances."
