    "content": "To conclude, in any office even in primary schools, the head teachers are given five years before they are transferred to other schools because when you start a programme, in at least five years, it will be visible. The issues of roads are a bit sensitive. I want to quote my place. When I was elected in 2017, there was a road which had already been started. It is now almost five years and it has not been completed. I think that has been the case because of the change of the DGs which has actually made some of the projects in this country stall. I will go to my last point so that I give other Members time to contribute on this important Bill. When planning for these roads both in urban and rural setups, it should be made clear by even the DGs who we are saying should have some good experience, that there must be a specified period of time for any designed road to avoid so many stalled and incomplete roads projects in our country. This is because a road that is started today and takes five years to construct already develops potholes before it is completed. That is where we lose money as a country. So, there must be a specified period of time for a road. I applaud the contractor who is doing the Express Way. It had been started the other day and everybody can see that it is coming to completion. We also want other roads which are being done in our country to follow suit so that we do not lose a lot of money in our midst. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill. I support the Bill and I know there is no any sinister motive. People might think the DGs who are already in the office need an extension for their benefit or personal gain. Five years is a good time for them to deliver. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
