    "content": "My colleague noted that even up to now, with the fuel levy money counties are not able to even manage the roads. In this case as I support this Bill about the DG’s qualification and the management, I would also propose – although I can see the issue of finances has not been mentioned and the enactment of the Bill does not occasion the expenditure of public funds – we get some more monies allocated to KeRRA so that the rural roads can be well improved. In this case, on the qualifications for the DGs as has been specified, it is good to have good skills on management after the first bachelor’s degree, that is, the five-year engineering course. An additional master’s degree is appropriate just for management because it is also a very wide field and there is a lot of money which is involved in construction and infrastructure development. So, we would need somebody who has some management skills on top of the technical skills in that matter. It is also very important that we need to prioritise some roads in our country. Some agricultural productive areas have roads which are not passable while some areas that have no agricultural production have roads which are very okay. They are idle and not being used. There should be prioritisation of the roads within our country."
