    "content": "country where Hon. Otiende Amollo would say ‘juncsion’. The Mamboleo ‘Juncsion’ has stayed close to 11 years without being completed. You can be certain that the contractor there is charging for idle time and equipment and penalising KeNHA. We are paying interest. That is why I am saying the Cabinet Secretary in charge of infrastructure, Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, besides giving directives from his office, must show this country that he is able to deliver on the mandate that the people of Kenya gave him through his appointment by His Excellency the President. He must begin with KeNHA. That is where the problem is. I know they will hide behind saying that they have not had the Exchequer resources. If you look at the amount of money being wasted in what I call Performance Based Road Maintenance (PBC) Contracts at KeNHA, you will be amazed. Contractors of KeNHA and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) are minting billions of shillings from taxpayers’ money for sweeping roads and planting flowers. These are facts. Therefore, let us not hide behind issues of saying that this one is from my county, the Cabinet Secretary belongs to my coalition – they must deliver. None other than the President, His Excellency William Ruto, has said that every public officer whom he has appointed to office must deliver services to the people of Kenya. If you are holding public office to serve private interests above public interests, count your days. Let me speak to the engineers at KeNHA, start counting your days if you do not shape up. You will either shape up or ship out."
