    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk about the allocations shown in the Printed Estimates, by law, I am not supposed to include the money that has been collected through the Kenya Roads Board (KRB). The money from KRB is equally distributed among all constituencies. The amount of money given to each constituency is Kshs11 million. Over and above that, with your approval of this Vote, it does not mean that we have reached the end of 2230 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 19, 2006 making adjustments. For instance, if we realise that an ongoing road project might not be completed in time and thus requiring that money be returned to the Treasury, we will divert the money to the needy areas. So, we are there to continue the adjustment programme. I want to assure hon. Members that my Ministry is there to serve every corner of the country. We would like to urge hon. Members to draw our attention any time they see something going wrong. We will act immediately. With regard to the issue of engineers not doing their work correctly, I know that there are some who have overstayed in the Ministry. Others have done strange things in their districts. In fact, the problem we have had is that some officers from the Ministry have, over the years, formed their own hidden companies. Over the last six months, I have had to transfer more than 100 engineers."
