    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. First of all I want to thank the Mover of the Motion, Hon. Duale, who is the Member for Garissa Township, which is the headquarters of Garissa County where I come from, and the chair of the roads committee. Roads network is very important for a country’s development. The current Government, which was also in power for the last five years, together with the Kibaki Government, did a lot of work in road development in this country. No doubt, I can attest that the amount of investment that has been put in the road network in this country over the last 10 or 15 years has been so great. Today in Nairobi, for example, the Thika Superhighway and the bypasses have really reduced traffic congestion in this city. But we have also lagged behind in the development of road network particularly in the poor city of Mombasa. It is deplorable that, that road is not a dual carriageway 55 years after Independence. The road from here to western Kenya should also have been a superhighway because it is a trunk road that would have helped the economy of this country. While I say that, the problem of roads is also a major contributor to accidents. In December last year, I am sure everyone here remembers the number of accidents that happened The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
