    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will rush to finish the two points that I wanted to put across. I wanted to tell this House that contrary to what came from the Treasury, we have decided, and the Treasury was very reluctant, to allocate each constituency Kshs30 million for the maintenance of our roads, because there are no roads anywhere in the country. So, we cannot even say that we are going to look for those constituencies which have problems. All constituencies have problems with roads. We need to support this allocation. Finally, when the Chairman was presenting the Budget, he talked about 12 counties which the BAC visited during public participation. Some Members did not understand why some counties were picked and others not picked. The reason is simple and quickly I want to explain. We have 47 counties. We realised that the Budget and Appropriations Committee could not visit all of them. Therefore, we decided to divide the 47 counties by four financial years. So, this financial year, we decided to visit 12 and in the next financial year, we will do 12 until we finish them. We had to start somewhere. In fact, even my county is not among the 12. So, I want to plead with my colleagues that today it is another county, tomorrow it will be my county. We need to support the BAC. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support"
