    "content": "I would like to ask hon. Members to be a little bit attentive. If you look at what is going to the counties, we have money for rural electrification and rural roads. Two things come into my mind, one we need to first of all define county roads. I know the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing is working on it. It should fast-track that so that we get to know which are county roads so that we can cost them. We need to know how much should go to counties in terms of roads and even in that way avoid duplication of roles where the national Government and other agencies are doing the same road using different resources. Hon. Speaker, on the issue of Rural Electrification Authority (REA), the Jubilee administration had pledged to have 5000 megawatts connected to the National Grid. This will lower the cost of electricity and by extension the cost of living. Counties have been allocated about Kshs3.65 billion for rural electrification. There is need for co-ordination and information sharing so as to know which rural electrification projects are being done at the county level.
