    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the debate on this Adjournment Motion. It has been a good time. It has also been a good experience for some of us who have been here for the first term. It has also been a very contrasting time when we noted that some Ministries August 3, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2627 can practice unfair distribution of natural resources and wealth. A road in my constituency which had stalled for 15 years could not even be captured by the Minister. Instead of allocating money to this road, money is allocated to other new roads of even a lesser class. This is why I think we need to have the Budget Committee to meet before the Budget is presented. There is the Mikahio- Baricho-Kibirigwi and Baricho-Kerugoya roads. These roads have stalled for the last 15 years. Surprisingly, not a single cent was allocated to these roads. As we go for recess, it has not been very clear as to whether the Kshs800 million which was slotted for bursary last year has been reinstated. We could only read in the papers today. I listened to the Minister for Education very keenly but he never mentioned anything about bursary. We need to explain to parents and students why bursary has not been factored in the Budget this year. If it is not there, then the Government will live to regret, because this is money meant for the poor. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would expect the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Finance to come together and have the bursary reinstated back to the Ministry of Education."
