You will also agree with me that in 2006, I allocated Kshs500,000 for repairs. As if that was not enough, in 2007, I allocated Kshs800,000 for repairs. In the other year, 2009, I also gave an allocation of Kshs500,000 for repair purposes. We are running away from the repairs because it is becoming an expensive venture. We want to do a fresh infrastructure by allocating Kshs4.2 million. He should thank me for pushing for Kshs4.2 million so that my officers live in good housing units."}
