    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to a very, very critical Appropriation Bill of 2007, which is going to raise nearly Kshs500 billion for the economy. It is, definitely, the highest appropriation in one single year in Kenya's history. We should be very, very proud when we are passing this Appropriation Bill. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the passage of this Bill will ensure that the funds released are going to be utilized in some of the most critical sectors and subsectors of the economy, starting with the infrastructure. We are aware that there is no country on earth which can become a developed country without developing its infrastructure. This Appropriation Bill will ensure that the funds are available to rehabilitate most of our dilapidated roads and also tarmack new roads. Already, we know that, from the last Budget, many roads are already being constructed. Those 4258 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 2, 2007 funds are going to ensure that the infrastructure is further improved. The Appropriation Bill will also appropriate funds to the critical sector of education. It is a major beneficiary."
