    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support Sen. Faki for bringing this Statement. One of the campaign issues of the Jubilee Government was infrastructure. We all remember the other day the President was in France for Ksh180 billion loan to construct a road between Nairobi and Mau Summit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this aspect of infrastructure is very critical. If we are to move this country to from a third world country to a middle economy country, or even possibly first world country, we need to work on infrastructure. When you look at the issue of most of the projects that have been undertaken in the country, there has been inadequate oversight by the relevant agencies. The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure have done nothing to ensure that they provide oversight to the contractors. It is sad that the cowboy contractors that were famous in the yesteryears are now on the loose. In Nandi County, for example, the road between Mberere/Kopele in Kisumu County and Timboroa is substandard, yet we have KeRRA as a supervising authority. The road from Rivatex to Kapkatembu has been done in a substandard manner. The road from Chepterit to Moi University is being washed away by floods because of the substandard work. There is danger in Chemuswa. All the roads have been done poorly in a mtumba way, yet we have KeRRA which is supposed to be an oversight authority."
