"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Kenya Roads (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.16 of 2025). The amendments by the Leader of the Majority Party are good because they align with the Mwongozo Code of Governance to ensure that the terms of service for CEOs are equal. It was discriminatory to other corporations for the Directors-General of the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) to serve for five years while other CEOs serve for only three years I remember that this law was passed mischievously during the last Session of the 12th Parliament when most of us had gone for campaigns. It was not done in good faith, but to protect certain individuals and keep them in office. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."

"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill, which is before us. Like most Members have already pointed out, the law went against the Mwongozo Code of Governance, also tied to that amendment was the fact that the Act was changed to allow for non-engineers to be the Director-General of the Kenya Roads Board. That also needs to be looked at. I urge the Leader of the Majority Party to listen because we cannot have a Director-General of the KRB who is not an engineer, yet the people he is working with are engineers. That was also one of the mischievous amendments which were passed through this House. The Leader of the Majority Party should consider ensuring that the Director-General of the KRB is an engineer."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I support the amendments proposed by the Leader of the Majority Party. This is a call to action for Members of Parliament because we are considering amendments that were sneaked in at the tail-end of the term of the 12th Parliament. This is a call for all of us to be awake, especially towards the tail-end of a term, so that we do not pass amendments that we again have to cure in the subsequent Parliament. Roads remains a very critical docket. The success of all the four factors of production, namely, land, entrepreneurship, capital and labour depends on their mobility, which is enhanced through our roads. If you want people to move from one place to another for work, or businesses to move their raw materials or finished goods to the market, or our children to go to school, roads are a critical docket. Therefore, we should take a keen interest in the people in those positions because roads are a backbone of the economy. Roads are one of the aspects that marginalise parts of this country. Many areas are completely inaccessible. Some constituencies and counties do not even have an inch of tarmac. With regard to marginalisation and the Equalisation Fund, we must finally, faithfully, and fully deliver on roads to ensure that everyone in the Republic of Kenya has equal and transparent access to basic services."

"content": "has said, the term of most CEOs is three years according to the Mwongozo Code of Governance. Therefore, it is also right if we reduce the term of the director-general of State corporations in the roads sector to three years. It will create equity among the ministry departments and agencies (MDAs) and parastatals. I support the Bill because it is critical for the roads sector. Recently, I overheard someone criticising the 7 per cent securitisation not knowing that it has helped us in unlocking the roads that were not funded. I support the Bill. Asante sana ."
