    "content": "I think this is something that we need to revisit and see to it that whatever departmental committees contribute is taken seriously. Concerning the revenues, I know this is a difficult time of COVID-19 and getting revenues is a bit difficult. I know the Parliamentary Budget Office has said the projection of growth of around 4.2 per cent may be difficult to achieve. However, my concern is more on the expenditure side. In Mogotio Constituency, most of our major issues are water, roads and electricity and these areas need enhanced budgets. In terms of roads, we are concerned because in Mogotio in the last 25 years, no road has been tarmacked. We have been promised severally that something will done. At one point, procurement took place, but eventually, this was cancelled. So, some of us are feeling a little bit left out. I heard other Members saying that we need to be inclusive in terms of putting more resources into the road network. If you put Kshs30 billion in one road and leave other constituencies with nothing, then they will be left behind."
