    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to continue with my contribution to the Budget Speech. As I was saying, overall, the Budget Speech was well- balanced and well-focused. The Minister has covered many issues which are of importance to this country. Of importance is the issue of roads infrastructure. This country has a problem with the roads infrastructure. What the Minister has done, to provide funding for major highways and roads is commendable. However, there is need to provide more resources to rural access roads. These rural access roads are very important. I would like to highlight the issue of money from the Kenya Roads Board which is given to constituencies. This is money which, in my view, should be given to the CDF so that it can be effectively used to improve the roads network. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue I would like to highlight is the issue of provision of sources of energy for faster growth. This is an area I would like to commend the Minister for allocating over Kshs4 billion for the generation of energy. I am very happy that he has focused on clean energy sources, particularly geothermal power, solar energy and wind energy. This will go a long way in resolving the energy problem this country is faced with."
