    "content": "This Bill has come at the right time and we have effective people in collecting taxes, widening the brackets, so let this money be put into proper use. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, minerals are now found in counties which have been marginalized since Independence like Turkana, Kitui, those in Ukambani and Coast Province. That is where everybody will go for employment. Let us develop roads in those areas. We are not asking for big things. We have sung until our voices are dry that the Kibwezi-Kitui-Mwingi-Maua- Ethiopia Road should be tarmacked. Let that road be given the first priority. I have talked to the Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairman, Rev. Mutava Musyimi and the Cabinet Secretary. Let that road be tarmacked to open up the limestone mining area because we have the biggest limestone deposits in Africa. That is Muthomo which is Kitui South. We also have the biggest coal deposits in Africa at a place called “Mui Basin” in Kitui. That is the best coal in the world. It is called “lignitecoal”. You can get a lot of energy from one tonne because it burns without smoke. So, it is not one of these things that will bring about climate change by emitting carbon dioxide. Lignite coal is the best and it is found in Kitui in bigger quantities than even in South Africa."
