    "content": "We talk of donor funds which are amounts bequeathed to the National Treasury and the money is there. However, you find that the programme does not take place because the people who are supposed to do the procurement exercise, evaluate and get contractors do not prioritise it. Before they do that, they sit down somewhere in a hotel to make sure that they get their cut so that the work can be done. That is very unfair to this country. We will pass this budget, but I urge the National Treasury, through the Cabinet Secretary, to see that if funds are apportioned for any work, the work is done. Projects have stalled even in the constituencies, especially the roads programme. Contractors are unable to do their work. The money is there and the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary are there. If you go to the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), you will find that the money is there, but nothing is being done because somebody somewhere wants to benefit before that work is expedited. Therefore, we are working in futility."
