    "content": "Therefore, it is important that even as we undertake this innovation, we do not forget to oversight the money that goes to the counties from the Fuel Levy Fund. I am particularly happy that I will not have to wait for 10 years before I get, at least, one road completed in Mwea. My constituency happens to be the most populated rural constituency in Kenya. But it is sad that we do not have any tarmacked road in Mwea despite us being a Kshs7 billion agricultural economy. But I am happy because there is some hope. All we are asking is that once this Bill is passed, the CS in-charge of Transport should move with speed and get this money. I do not think Kshs150 billion will be enough. I think we should go for something like Kshs300 billion. One thing this innovation will bring is resources to do projects at a go. Money that is appropriated for infrastructure in bits attracts a lot of malpractices. When we get bulk money hopefully, the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing will bring a report showing allocation of the money borrowed and we will have an easier time supervising the roads earmarked to be done."
