    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, further to the question that my brother and neighbour, Sen. Munyes, has asked, to demonstrate the gravity of the matter, as a result of diverting all these vehicles through Uganda, there is now a deliberate move not to repair or build the Kitale-Kapenguria-Lodwar-Lokichoggio Road. As a result of this, the road is now a mess. Secondly, we want to know whether that is now the Government policy; that we must drive these lorries to Uganda and neglect our own road, which would have actually made it better. Thirdly, how many active border points do we have that are manned by our people in Kenya? I have one example in my county. That is the border between Kenya and Uganda at a place called Konyau. The Ugandans have built a fully fledged immigration office as you cross from Uganda, whereas there is no single building or officer manning the Kenyan side. What plans does the Government have and why are we wasting revenue by allowing our money to be collected on the other side by the trucks that are going and yet there is nothing that is being brought into Kenya? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
