This is so that we can raise bonds and ring-fence the money given to constituencies to pay contractors. If we do not pay them, there will be no circulation of money even in our rural constituencies. That is why I have been very skeptical even as we talk of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) being as high as 6 per cent and the household income being less than Kshs.100 per day. So, I want to encourage all Members to pass this Bill because when the Roads Board manages this money, I am sure they will pay contractors."}
