    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing regarding the funds for road construction within our constituencies which was being funded through the Kenya Revenue Authority. I am aware that through the Division of Revenue Bill, 2013, money included for road construction had been forwarded to county governments and I had sought to find out the status and the position of these funds. But with the very able and immediate response from the Leader of Majority Party and the support of the Chairman of this Committee, this matter has been overtaken by events with a circular issued by the Cabinet Secretary, Eng. Michael S.M. Kamau vide reference No.MRA3545/B/vol.4 where all money which previously was to be used by the Members of Parliament for the construction of roads in their constituencies has been returned to the Members. I wish to express my gratitude. I am proud that this will help us to continue to provide services to our people in our constituencies."
