    "content": "because it is a technical body that deals with other issues. However, the people who are on the political seats on issues of roads are the governors. These are the people who should be given a slot. Finally, there is a provision in Section 62 that the annual estimates should be presented to the National Assembly. If we say 16 per cent of allocation should go to the county governments, why should there not be a provision that the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Urban Development will make a presentation to the National Assembly and to the Senate, so that our input as a Senate is taken. We should not be flower girls. The issue of roads is key to county governments and even to us, as Senators. Madam Temporary Speaker, I close by making an appeal that we should consider amending that particular provision. This is for the Senate to have important say when it comes to annual estimates on the grant that should go to these three authorities and be spent in the construction of our roads."
