    "content": "When the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga takes over, he will expand the infrastructure terrain in this nations and therefore bring prosperity to this nation. That is one of the things that was captured in the BBI which was never actualized. I was happy that the President re-emphasized that the BBI may have been stopped for a while, but it would come back. There is no better suited person to bring back the BBI agenda other than his ‘handshake’ partner, the Rt. Hon. Former Prime Minister, Raila Amollo Odinga, who will also be the Fifth President of the Republic of Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, I feel that this was a timely statement and the recognition that our party leaders is also a man of substance because he has done it before, he will be able to do it again as part of the constitution of his legacy after 2022. The other thing that I would like to see is the road network improved in Kisii County to the level that I have seen in Central Kenya and other areas. For instance, the Kibaki Government, in which I served as a Minister, had earmarked the road from Sosera to Ramasha joining the Masimba-Nyangusu Highway and a branch off from A Corner to Nyantago for construction. Similarly, we had planned for the continuation of Kemera- Amabuko Road to continue from Keroka to Ebacho-Kiamokama onto Nyacheki and then from Ebacho to Birongo. Madam Temporary Speaker, those roads have not been done despite just appearing as done. The people of my county are crying foul because they have not been treated to a superb road network like other counties. When the President visited my county, we met him at State House and he gave us an assurance that some of those road networks would be captured in the development, of course, not leave out that there was Nyamache-Kiobegi-Nyanguso Road that was to be tarmacked, but it has not. The Nyabisabo-Matunwa-Amariba Road has also not been done. The other one that is yet to be done is the Keumbu-Nyaguta-Kiogoro Road, up to the tea factory. Those by-passes ought to be done. In Bomachoge Chache, apparently, some of them are being done, but I would like to see more roads there. This also includes roads in North Mugirango in the other area of Etago as well as the Bomachoge-Borabu. We need those road networks created."
