    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the petition submitted by my neighbour, Sen. Munyes, is heavily loaded. When we compare and look back to what Turkana County was, it raises a lot of queries. What does this money we keep on sending to the counties annually do? We are immediate neighbours with Turkanas. The road from Kapenguria, all the way through Marich Pass, Kainuk to Lowdar to Lokichogio to Nadapal is completely impassable. I wish one out of ten of the Kshs40 billion was used to make that road. It is no longer tarmac. It stopped being a tarmac road over 15 years ago. The vehicles that go to Lowdar are very powerful. They are four-wheel vehicles. Maybe that is where your money has gone to. Ordinary vehicles cannot use that road because it is impassable. The situation is the same in my county. Last week, I sought a statement here to know what the national and the county governments will do to remedy the people dying of hunger in West Pokot. Talking of luxurious hotels, they have built a peculiar hotel in West Pokot called the Tourists Hotel. It is about 40 kilometres away from the town. The immediate customers are baboons. Nobody can access it. There is no tourist who has visited West Pokot ever since the earth was created."
