    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a way of asking for clarification, although I also sit in the same Committee, but I think the Chairperson should come up with a broad policy statement as to what happens to the roads which have stalled all over the country. The fact is that all the roads that were being constructed, including one from Mbita to Homa Bay, which is 43 kilometres, have stalled. They only did 20 kilometres of the road from Mbita to Homa Bay. They have been giving them money as little as medicine just to keep them alive, but not enough to make them move. The whole country is in a mess. Could we have a broad statement from the Ministry on this situation? I think now they are trading with the Eurobond, I think they have enough money which will go to all contracts that have stalled. We can now sit comfortably and see projects completed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to say this, in the former Government of Hon. Mwai Kibaki, no project was started until the Government was satisfied that there was sufficient money. When these projects started, most of them were completed. However, immediately he left the seat, all the road projects kwamaad all over the country. Could we get a policy statement from the Ministry?"
