We also have no roads that we can use. So, when we are talking about this, let us look at the services we have in this country and what is required. How many road networks are required in West Pokot County? List everything that is required in Nairobi, Marsabit and everywhere else and bring the list here. Do the same for electrification. We should count our problems and budget according to that without looking at the counties. If you find that the most required kilometres of road are in a certain county, we will not have marginalised anybody by looking at that area. So, I want us to look at the activities or functions rather than talk about who are not marginalised and so on. I know that if we are to talk about whether our roads are good or bad now, 50 years later, the roads will have been spoilt since the weather is not always very good. However, you will have enjoyed certain quality of life before the roads are spoilt. We should look at the functions and the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
