    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the concerns of the hon. Member are genuine. However, you will recall that this House gives the opportunity to Members of Parliament to prioritize projects within their constituencies. So, it can be very difficult for me if hon. Members do not prioritize some of the areas that they feel require access to electricity. I will undertake an affirmative action to ensure that some of the areas like North Horr which are vast are given slightly more funding than others. That does not mean that we have to distribute every single resource in this country in a proportion that is equal. Hon. Members have to appreciate the fact that some areas are sparsely populated and distances between urban centres or villages and others are quite big. In the area that we are talking about, we have spent about Kshs136 million but we have not been able to do as much if we would have spent Kshs136 million in Mumias. So, I want hon. Members to understand me and help me when they have their constituency allocation to be able to do the correct prioritization."
