Is it our time to eat? There is unease by some parliamentarians over the distribution of multi-million shilling legacy projects that were to be implemented in all the 290 constituencies.

However, what has now angered the lawmakers is that the members of the committee overseeing the project implementation have shared all the available slots among themselves, leaving their colleagues with nothing in the first phase of implementation.
