    "content": "I am aware that in my constituency alone there are areas where people are currently using a road which has murram, leave alone tarmac. These areas are Tendeno, Kiplokyi, Ewat, Kabisoi, Tilolwet, Mugut, Kipengwe, Kichawir, Kamachungwa, Lemotit, Kisabo, Kimaut, Kimugul, Kiletyen, Kisabu, Ng’atumek and Kiprengwe. I am also sure that Wajir, Homa Bay and Teso have seen roads done for the first time by the Jubilee Government. Therefore, it is totally misleading to tell the whole world that nothing is happening. Let us call a spade a spade. This is the only Government that will go down in history for having implemented devolution very well. This is despite the challenges, which at the end of the day, are created by the same people who are complaining. Let us look at the promise to give laptops. It is common knowledge to everybody here that our courts have become the biggest enemy of development in this country. They are not going to be an enemy of Jubilee Government alone if at all it happens. I am not sure whether it will happen in this Century or to any other Government which takes over power. The trend where the Judiciary is blocking everything the Government is doing is not helping. If you look at the laptops project, you will find that they went to court and blocked everything. Now, the Government has looked for a way of implementing it and that is innovation. On farming, though agriculture is devolved, I hear a lot of noise from governors. They have money but have failed to deliver even a single bag of fertilizer to farmers. The Jubilee Government through His Excellency the President has ensured that maize growing areas have subsidised fertiliser supplied at Kshs.1,800 consistently. Right now, in my constituency in a depot called “Kedowa” and “Kipkelion” there is enough fertilizer. I passed by on Monday and farmers are happy. That is the Government which we are saying is not working. When it comes to issues of electricity, every area including, Homa Bay, Kisumu, Mombasa and Malindi, this commodity has been supplied to every primary school not by any Government but Jubilee. I was surprised by Hon. Midiwo’s assertion that the people of Kapkatet are not happy with the stadium which is being constructed by Jubilee. This is the case and yet they were pretending that they were not coming to Kericho to campaign for ODM. They had The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
