    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to correct the hon. Member that the fact that roads are being repaired every now and then, is indeed, the process all over the world. As roads are used, they also get worn out and have to be repaired from time to time. Therefore, the fact that we are repairing roads is a natural process that must take place. However, as you know, the procurement process in Government sometimes takes long. As you have seen, we advertised in September and we have the funds. Before we advertise, give the relevant period for people to respond to the bids and give time for the appeals, it means these contracts can only take off from January. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the lengthy period in procurement has sometimes been a major obstacle especially in areas where we have seen emergency required in restoring the roads. However, on the section of the road that he has mentioned, I will undertake to look into it and ensure that we are able to commence the works as soon as possible."
