    "content": "How do we measure our roads in terms of construction? Low volume of roads per kilometer at Kshs40 million; conventional roads in rural areas at Kshs80 million; and highways between Kshs90 million and Kshs120 million. This is Uhuru Highway and other big ones used by big lorries. Why are we spending Kshs240 million on a road going to somewhere even though it will be used by people? I think we should spend our money in a good way which is what I am proposing. Secondly, in terms of roads going forward, there is something which was brought by the National Treasury last year about emergency repairs of roads after heavy rains. The Kshs8.7 billion was passed in this House to be used for repairs of our roads after the rains. You know what happened? It was removed during Supplementary I, but those roads in my constituency are still bad. I made a presentation to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and I have not seen it. I have only seen in their recommendations acknowledging my presentation. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
