    "content": " Hon. Chairman, I think we need to look at where we are coming from. KRB basically is the one that raises monies and disburses them to the different agencies like Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). Its span goes beyond several. The original Act that created KRB had five years. So, as we align this, we are talking in terms of the changes in the other bodies that created three years, and this one was left hanging. So, it is being changed to state the term of the Director-General. If you go back to what was in the original law, it was five years. I believe if you look at public participation in the Report, you will find the people said roads construction is a long term thing. Remember this is not at KeRRA, KURA or KeNHA. This is the Roads Board that fund-raises the monies and then disburses to the different agencies. Since it was five years, let us respect the wishes of the public participation and give the five years."
