    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said yesterday that we are improving on project management and one of the key parameters of project management is paying the contractors when they submit their certificates. I would also seek the indulgence of the hon. Members that they give us a breathing space so that we are able to finish the ongoing projects. There is a lot of pressure from hon. Members of Parliament on us to undertake so many roads and consider so many constituencies and when we do that, we end up with a shortage of funds. You will find that where we had said that a road will take about two years and we do not have adequate allocation, it takes about four years. We are trying to avoid that problem now and that means that if we are going to pay the contractors on time, we will have to cope with fewer roads than the hon. Members of Parliament would want us to."
