Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no discrimination. The data will be so tabled. I did not carry the data today but if the hon. Member wants, I will table it as soon as possible. I also want to clarify that I have not talked about Kshs25 million for the rehabilitation of this road.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to clarify something for the purpose of the message to be passed. I did not talk about Kshs25 million for the rehabilitation but I talked about a request of Kshs300 million from the Treasury. However, I have already allocated Kshs75 million and not Kshs25 million.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that maybe very few constituencies have received all their monies.

Let us expect that it will be of help.
