    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to speak immediately after my county man. I support the Motion. The issues raised by our colleague, hon. Mbadi, are issues the Minister and the House should address for the future. I want to urge that we pass the Vote on Account because there are so many urgent things that require being undertaken. There are preparations for elections. The other day the Commissioner of Police told us that he needs to recruit about 37,000 policemen and train them in readiness for giving us the necessary required peace and security at election time. We need this to get moving. We have the Lamu-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor programme in Lamu. I believe the Minister will put some money on the Lamu project to start off. We have terribly dilapidated infrastructure. The ongoing rains have ravaged roads everywhere. We need to repair roads. We have a crisis looming in free education, both primary and secondary. Hon. Mutula Kilonzo needs money to send to schools to cover universal education. We need money for rural electrification. We need money for Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) so that as we go on recess, hon. Members can have an opportunity to actualize their budgets in their constituencies. We need money for the security of Nairobi given the recent shocks that we have been having from terror- based attacks. We need money to run the Government in every respect."
