    "content": "roles with the governors. That, we are the ones who are supposed to construct roads! For example, in my county, my governor is very good at incitement. When he goes round, he tells people that he has done this and that road and the remaining roads are for the Member of Parliament to do. He tells them to ask him to do the roads. In the last Budget, not a single cent was allocated to Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERA), which is under the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. It is only during the recent Supplementary Budget where we allocated something small, which we are working with. If we are getting Kshs10 million and the counties are getting Kshs4 billion, it is quite unfair to compare the two. I would have wished that we address the issue of KERRA also to, at least, add some funds. The Kshs15 million per year is too little. If we could adjust that amount to, at least, Kshs50 million, I would appreciate. That way, we can improve the status of roads in our constituencies."
