    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just laying the background, but I wish to repeat once again that this Parliament in 2009 amended the Roads Act. It made all maintenance funds to all constituencies the same irrespective of the number of kilometres we have and the state of the roads in every constituency. Therefore, when the House passed that Bill, in essence what we meant is that Sigor, among many other constituencies would be getting the same amount of money and it was up to the hon. Members of Parliament, through the CRCs to do the best they could with the money available. When that amendment was done to the Roads Act, we did pass our reservations to that because there are some constituencies that have a total road network of about 15 kilometres and others have thousands of kilometres. However, it was the wish of the hon. Members that all the monies be spent equally in all constituencies. Therefore, if you want a change to that, we would welcome any amendments to address that issue."
