    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Members have not commented on Chapter Six of the Constitution. We all know that we appropriate huge sums of money for road construction in this country but most of these monies are misappropriated. There is evidence that there is a lot of corruption involving people who work in these road agencies. We even had a case where officers from Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) were questioned on the issue of irregular award of contracts, money laundering and such things. Therefore, it is important that whoever takes up this position undergoes a lifestyle audit because it would most likely be a person who has worked for these road agencies for many years. We must not promote corruption. I think it is wrong to promote someone who has been involved in corruption to head a road agency. Therefore, I hope that when we talk about Chapter Six, we will provide that whoever will be given this position will undergo a lifestyle audit. I will be making that proposal at the Committee of the whole House stage. This provision will ensure that people who take up this position are people of integrity who have no corruption history and those who will ensure that the money that this House appropriates is well spent for the benefit of Kenyans.
