    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Petition by the people of Kajiado is a confirmation of a cry by the whole country on the total failure of the Jubilee Government to offer services to the people of Kenya. According to the Constitution, a number of roads are supposed to have been relinquished to the county government system. However, the national Government has persistently refused to do so. It is a pity that they have intentionally refused to offer services to the citizens despite the fact that year in, year out, we allocate a lot of money to roads construction in this country. What does this money do? Who is keeping it? Will it be used in the next election? Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are worried because there is a belief by many communities that some animals tend to eat their intestines. One animal is notorious for that and it dies in the process of doing the same. That is exactly what the Jubilee Government is doing and it will die soon for “eating its own intestines”. We had a good transport system in Nairobi, the Kenya Bus System (KBS). It was intentionally and progressively killed for purposes of which I do not want to mention here. The issue is, it is getting too late and Kenyans want services. The people of Kajiado County have the right as per the Constitution to petition the House for the same. I wonder how useful this House will be to the people of Kajiado in the petition because we do not control the kind of money that they want. Anyway, we have heard and I support."
