    "content": "I will also like to mention what the Jubilee Government must emphasize on, particularly with regard to equity in distribution of resources. Kenyans have become very sensitive. They are aware and sensitive particularly to any tribal inclinations on distribution of resources. In my constituency, we are still looking forward for the start of Isara-Mashuru-Kajiado Road. This is just one of the major roads we thought the Jubilee Government would undertake as a major project in the entire Kajiado County. We also saw that in many constituencies, the National Youth Service (NYS) programme has done a lot to alleviate the problem of unemployment of the youth. In my constituency, this is yet to be done. Even as we acknowledge our successes, we must be careful not to sideline parts of this country. We must be careful not to be seen to have skewed development. I know the President has really tried to support devolution, but our county governments have not done much. I think a lot of resources that have been devolved have been siphoned through corruption. A lot of works have not been done. Town planning and sewerage systems in our towns are still pathetic and there are water problems. In my county, Isinya and Kitengela towns are crying because of water shortage. There are no hospitals, medicine and medical personnel. So, I do not understand where the Kshs25 billion that was supposed to be received by governors has gone."
