    "content": ". They now look up to the Member of Parliament, thinking that the CDF has all the money that they need while the monies are being spent elsewhere. I do not know what happened such that these days senior Government officers, more so CSs, who are given access to very powerful engines - you find a CS with two or three Prado engines - but for strange reasons now they have opted to using choppers everywhere. I believe that this is a very expensive exercise that is digging into our Budget. Something should be done such that it can only be used when it is necessary. These days when you are expecting a CS for a function, you do not look for him coming. You just look up and soon you will know that the CS is about to arrive. It has now become the norm. I believe it is very expensive. I am saying this also because in many cases they do not want to do the roads because the CSs now prefer to fly. I do not know where the money comes from. The other point is that this Budget should have addressed the disparities in the last Parliament, where roads were concentrated in certain areas, which then we thought was a Jubilee way of enticing voters which was good; it is a political outfit, we were not members and we could not hate them. It was their time. But now that the political temperatures are becoming normal, we expect the CS for infrastructure to ensure that roads are built where they are supposed to be built. In Muhoroni, which is the citadel of manufacturing, the Government collects taxes from Muhoroni Sugar Company. When the company was not able to remit taxes, they closed the factory."
