    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Vote. Last year, while contributing to debate on the Vote of the Ministry of Roads and Public Works, I lamented that prudence in the distribution of resources by this Ministry was lacking. I even went out of my way to suggest that we should not even approve the Vote of this Ministry. Unfortunately, because I did not have powers to stop its approval, the Vote was approved. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, this year, the issue of equitable distribution of resources by this Ministry leaves a lot to be desired. Looking at the way the resources have been allocated, I note that the Government of National Unity-friendly constituencies got the lion's share, just like last year, while the rest of the country, which requires infrastructure more than some of those constituencies or districts, has been ignored. Is this Government working for the people of Kenya or is it working to please Government of National Unity-friendly constituencies? We should not, as a country, allow that to happen. We should allow equitable distribution of resources."
