    "content": "members of county assemblies (MCAs) have more money to transfer their children from public schools to private schools. That is how the wheel of development moves. It is not through concentration, but through devolving development and resources. I hope the director-generals in the roads sector are listening to us and will rise to the occasion to show how they have interconnected the entire Kenya, so that there are economic hubs in every place and people do not have to migrate. It pains me to see youngsters abandoning their houses and small shambas in the rural areas to come and look for jobs in Nairobi. They end up being accommodated in the slums yet they have decent homes. I would like to see a person in Kipipiri moving to Ol Kalou or Miharati to start a business instead of moving to Nairobi because they can be absorbed there and save on housing costs. That maintains their dignity since they are not coming from their homes to live in slums. By the time they go home, they have nothing to show for in terms of what they have been doing in town. Those are some of the things we can accomplish through opening up road networks, so that people can move, travel and transport their goods to markets at reduced costs. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
