    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the hon. Member talk about roads being done only where the Ministers come from. When I took over the Ministry of Roads and Public Works, I found that 60 per cent of the roads had never been done for the last 12 years. Who was in charge? Right now, as I am talking, we have brought down the percentage of bad roads to 30 per cent. What else do you expect? I would like hon. Kimeto to tell me whether there is no road programme in his constituency. I have told him what we are doing about roads in his constituency. Is he in order to make the allegation that roads are good only in Ministers' areas? I know in some Ministers' areas the roads are also bad. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Minister, I come from an area where roads are bad. If you go to Kisii-Kilgoris Road, you will see that it is impassable. What are you talking 4314 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 7, 2006 about? The hon. Member does not know standard geography and should withdraw his remarks that only roads in Ministers' areas are good."
