    "content": "what this Motion reflects. We demand that the Cabinet Secretary actually tables before the Senate their plans for the roads. This is very important so that we can all say that there is equitable distribution of the paved roads in the country. I think it is a very important Motion and, also, it dovetails into the provisions of devolution; that resources are equitably distributed across the counties. I think that is important. I come from the only county in this country that has zero paved roads; there is not even an inch of paved roads and our students, children and people of that county have never seen paved roads indeed. In fact, I come from a town called Rhamu within Mandera County; and we actually call it “Kiambu” because we produce a lot of vegetables along the river and, during the season, millions of mangoes. But we are unable to take that farm produce out of the county because of lack of roads. In El Wak, we have two billion tones of gypsum - the largest deposit of gypsum you will find anywhere in this country--- I took investors from America there in 2004 and one of the reasons they gave for not being able to exploit it is the lack of infrastructure; they cannot get to the site and they cannot export it out of the area. So, things like vegetables that we have here have never been seen by our people."
