    "content": "has been skewed to certain areas. As we consider affirmative action, the people handling the Budget are at crossroads because there are too many projects initiated in one region of this country, and to call a spade a spade, in central Kenya. In as much as we want to commit funds for completion of stalled projects, 50 per cent of the Budget is going to one region. That is wrong. Kenya is for everyone and everyone pays taxes. We must start from there. I encourage the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport on the issue of affirmative action. Let the Samburu child feel that they belong to Kenya. Let the Turkana child also feel that they belong to Kenya. Previously, I worked for the Ministry of East African Community, ASALs and Regional Development and I moved around the ASAL areas of this country. I have been to Hon. Keynan’s place. If you land from above by a chopper, you will think that you are in Trans Nzoia. His place is green because of irrigation. The only thing they lack is exposure. After Hon. Keynan harvests, where does he take his produce to if transport from Wajir to Nairobi takes three days? We must open up this country for all of us. We should put our focus on the Ministry of Roads and Transport."
