    "content": "If you want to respond to attacks by the raiders in those areas, you will be unable to because the roads are in very poor condition and are inaccessible. There is also the issue of poor economic activities because of the road situation. So, the committee should go beyond the situation in Mombasa and come up with solutions in almost every county, particularly in my county of Baringo. In the recent scaling down of the projects on roads in the country, some of the roads have been suspended until further notice while others are in progress. So, it is very important that even as we allocate resources meant for roads to other sectors, we should realise that if we do not succeed in having our transport systems work well, we will be unable to meet our development goals, especially in areas where there is a lot of insecurity. I, therefore, thank my colleague for this question and I request the Committee in charge of Roads and Transportation to consider the situation in Baringo County, especially those two roads which have stalled for the last close to five years. I thank you."
