    "content": "where money is to be siphoned and hemorrhaged for political purposes? Health is a devolved function, but you can see a claw back by the national Government. We, in the Constitution, gave the national Government an opportunity to run referral hospitals and it can very well establish these hospitals either in every region or in every county. But as it is, they are making it impossible for county health facilities to run. Because of rent seeking, again, they want to control the procurement of medicine and they want to control every manner of bits about health. This is not the way to go. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, transport is very critical. I agree with the Chairperson that we want the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), the fraud in it notwistanding. You know how much has been stolen from the SGR; a project that was costing Kshs200 billion is now costing Kshs427 billion by the same company that had tendered for Kshs200 billion. This is massive theft! It disheartens us when such a fraud that is so glaring comes to Parliament and Parliament says “we give you a clean bill of health, move on! The stories you hear are not good either. We want to see the SGR extended to Malaba. There is some malicious conspiracy being brewed to make sure that the SGR does not go up to Malaba. We are watching and we are waiting. Finally, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we want to see tarmac roads all over the country, including northern Kenya. Tarmacked roads should not rotate around central Kenya and parts of high potential like Nakuru and so on, and so forth. We want to see tarmacked roads in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
