    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Petition. What this Petition is showing us is that you are presiding over a very open Parliament. The process we had with the Finance Bill has also opened these doors to the public to realise that they do not even need to go out there for maandamano or picket; they can write directly to this Parliament and be heard. The issue of roads does not affect one side only. Through yesterday’s process, we have already embedded the role of this House. We will look for the resources and also oversee the resources. I do not think there is a Member of this House who does not have a road that they would want tarmacked. I remember even in the last Parliament and this one, I have been talking about the road from Gilgil to Gitare. It is our duty to provide resources or/and raise money and ensure that it is used for what it is supposed to do. More importantly, this is a listening Parliament. We have a whole Committee on Petitions that members of the public can interact with us and raise issues directly to Parliament. Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity."
