    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. In the amendments that came in 2007, we said that the money for Kenya Roads Board should go to the constituencies. That money would then be under the Chairman of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and, being a Member of Parliament, and together with the Constituency Development Committee, they will maintain the roads to the best of their ability. Those are the people who run the affairs of the constituency. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this deletion is due to non-exposure of people who do not know the problem of roads in every constituency. They do not know that they have the money. The only way we can use that money is for the Member of Parliament and the Constituency Development Committee to be in charge of that money. So, I completely oppose this amendment. Let the amendments which were done in 2007 continue to be in force, whereby 24 per cent of all the monies was to go to the constituencies. I wish my friends will support me. That is because it is your money too!"
