"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to comment on the Statement by Sen. Mwenda Gataya Mo Fire on distribution of funds for road projects across the counties. This statement could not have come at a better time. The budgetary allocation for road construction projects under KURA and KeRRA and the mechanism for such allocation cannot be understated because every county has roads that are not done. It is in this regard that the framework for allocation of funds should be set out in a manner that brings some level of fairness to the counties. In terms of mileage, I am sure the Cabinet Secretary and Principal Secretaries in the Ministry of Roads and Transport have the data. It is important that some fairness is given to the allocation, so that we do not have regions or areas where the road network is at a level that is beyond fair, say 50 to 60 per cent of the roads tarmacked, or at a level that is motorable. There are some counties where we do not even have tarmacked or motorable roads. This Statement seeks to address the question of equity and the manner and modality of allocating funds, both under KURA and KeRRA. I am aware that the new Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, Hon. Chirchir, has worked on a framework that seeks to bring some level of fairness. When the Senator for Tharaka Nithi inquires into this question, I am sure he is alive to the fact that many roads in Tharaka Nithi need some action. It is that action that remedies or addresses those counties that are lagging behind with allocations that are lower than those of counties with motorable roads."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to ride on the Statement by Sen. Kavindu, the Senator for Machakos County. When Kenyans who are suspects in drug trafficking are arrested, it is important that the Government of Kenya should do everything possible to ensure that they are given a fair trial and nothing else. I do not understand what the Senator is looking for when she talks of repatriation of victims? You call criminals of drug trafficking victims; people who mess up our children. If anything, once the Government is satisfied that a criminal has had fair trial, it should ensure that that person is jailed in that country and serves a full term there for it to serve as a deterrent."
