    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is an important Report that has been tabled by the Committee on Finance and Budget, which goes to give resources to our counties. From the onset, I agree with my colleagues who have advanced their argument that the so-called small counties be allocated a minimum of Kshs6 billion. It is not too much to ask. I say that, not because I am against any county from getting any allocation, I say that as a Kenyan who has trans-versed this country and understands the challenge the so-called small counties undergo. I will say the following in support of additional allocation of funds to the small counties. If you look at the cost of development for similar works, like the cost of doing a road in a county like Elgeyo-Marakwet; one kilometre of road to cut through the hills will cost the county government - we are just talking of rural access roads, we are not talking about paved roads - will cost not less than Kshs5 million to do a kilometre of murram road."
