    "content": "If you look at specific roads, and I do not want to mention them because I do not want to be seen to be bias or targeting certain regions, you will see that the distribution of those resources is not well done. So, how do we go about it? That is why I kindly plead with this House to pass this Motion. Even if we cannot do it in this financial year, we can start in the next financial year. We can allocate little money in the next financial year. This is because a kilometre of road done to bitumen standard costs about Kshs20 million. So, if you have about 20 kilometres, it will cost about Kshs400 million. That is not money we can afford. We can also float infrastructure bonds with maturity period ranging between 10 and 15 years. So, we can fund this locally. We can also fund this through external investors. We have people in the public/private sector who are interested in this. We can start levying on some of the roads which have been done to finance new ones so that, at least, we achieve a level growth rate in this country."
