    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I appreciate the appreciation of the hon. Member that Dr. Machage fights for the rights of the minorities of this country. Indeed, I have taken the sentiments by the hon. Member with great concern. However, I would like to convince him that things are a little bit different from where the colonial persons did reply him or his Member of Parliament at that particular time over the same issue. This is because we have made great progress in many aspects on nearly five roads. Actually, the Bodea – Apec – Kuwait and Saud Frand has now shown interest to fund the Nuno-“Mogadishu” section of the roads in question. That is a great gratitude to this group. We have finished the design for Garissa – “Mogadishu” – Wajir Road which is 330 kilometers. This has been done by M/S East Africa Engineering Consultants. This has never been done before. We have finished the designs of Wajir – Mandera Road which is 380 kilometers, which has been done by M/S. Gibb Africa Consulting Engineers. The design of Isiolo – Gabartula – “Mogadishu Road” which is 195 kilometers has been completed by M/S. Otieno Odongo Consulting Engineers. The Wajir – Mandera Road was also completed. Its design was done by Gjibb Africa Consulting Engineers. I included funds in the Supplementary Estimates you passed yesterday for the maintenance of these roads. In the 2009/2010 Budget, I allocated Kshs4,281,000 for this road. This money was enough for patching. However, in the next Budget, I have indicated that I want Kshs45 million for the periodic maintenance of these roads before construction starts. I think I have tried!"
