    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to March 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 411 say that I am very happy to have been elected to this Parliament by the people of Kieni. I have actually promised them that I shall do my best during the coming five years. Secondly, I would like to say that, in the past, we have had corruption within the Government. It is my prayer that during the coming five years, corruption will be a thing of the past. I would also like to say that my constituency lags behind in the district because the roads are very--- In fact, I would like to say that there are only two roads. There is the one that starts from Nyeri and ends in Nyahururu. The other one starts from Nyeri and ends in Nanyuki. All the others, to say the truth, are murram roads. In some areas, there are no roads at all! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have another big problem which has been bothering us. It concerns water. I hope that during the coming five years, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) allocation will be increased from the current 2.5 per cent to about 10 per cent. That way, my constituency and other constituencies in the district will enjoy that precious commodity called water. In the past, we have been receiving food from the Government. If we have enough water, we shall make sure that even the youth will get some work to do as far as farming is concerned. I beg to support."
