    "content": "This kitty is doing a lot of good to the community. We have so many projects which are going on. We need to change the Act so that it can be flexible. For example, there are those constituencies which have graders. Maybe, the Act will change and their graders will be sold. Let us not look at our constituencies like an egg because all eggs are oval. Our constituencies are very different. If a constituency has a grader which is helping in constructing roads in that constituency without waiting for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) to do it, I do not see anything wrong with that. Every constituency should be looked at individually with its problems and needs. That is why I support the idea of the Fund being distributed using other parameters but not saying that there are 290 constituencies, divide by the figure and there we get the amount. It changed in the last Parliament. My colleague from North Horr, Hon. Chachu Ganya, complained. I was here with him. He almost cried. I also felt it because Igembe Central lost Kshs17million when the law was passed here. It was very unfortunate. We even challenged Hon. Lessonet and asked him whether he was coming up with that catastrophic change because he wanted to vie for gubernatorial position in 2017."
