    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me speak louder so that you can hear. That way, when you go back to your offices, you can do something about those roads. No funds have been set aside to maintain provincial roads. I have the example of Nakuru-Eldama Ravine- Eldoret Road. Likewise, there is no allocation for Mogotio-Kabarnet and Iten-Eldoret roads. There is totally no allocation for maintenance works for the Nyaru Fluorspar Road, and yet exports of fluospar earn this country a lot of foreign exchange. It should be a priority to make that road passable. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some roads in the district have completely been left out! My question is: If those districts are not going to be given any money, then what is the use of having a District Roads Officer? That is because the staff there are not doing anything. They will be undermining the development of those particular districts. Roads are very important. They are like arteries. They are very important for social and economic development, not forgetting security. It is absolutely important to treat all the districts the same. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me end by appealing to the Minister to go and re- look at these guidelines because they are basically flawed. With those few remarks, I support the Motion with the hope that the anomalies I have pointed out will be rectified."
