    "content": "because each county, like in my county, right now, they are budgeting to upgrade town roads to bitumen standards before they can tarmac them. We know it is very expensive to do proper works, we could be talking of an amount upwards of maybe between Kshs50 million and Kshs100 million, which has to come from the budget of the county governments. However, it is unfair because other counties have their headquarters maintained by KURA in terms of the roads infrastructure while others have to dip into their pockets and use their development money which would have gone into other priority areas to still improve their roads. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, taking into account the current situation, I support this Motion that until the roads sector is realigned to reflect the new Constitution in terms of responsibilities and funding, then the road infrastructure in all the headquarters will not be improved by KURA. This is where some of the funds which were supposed to have gone to the county governments are going. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion."
