    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I left this House maintaining a very high level of dignity. That should be kept because we really trust and treasure you as the leadership. We appreciate the work you are doing. My colleague, Hon. Ababu Namwamba, is ready. I have taken so much time. The Tala-Ol Donyo Sabuk Road in Garissa County is ongoing. It suffers the same fate as other roads in the country. Forty percent of the road is complete. It has a pending bill too. It was awarded in 2020. We are working together to make sure that is completed. On the question by the Chair of the Committee, Sen. Thang’wa, you should be helping me to ensure people do not exaggerate the compensation they need. It is just about becoming prompt and adequate so that we do not have problems where projects are pending forever. We should borrow from the example by Sen. Wambua and a few places in the Mau Mau Roads, where people allowed us to complete roads as we work on compensation. I think that also includes the road you are talking about. We will make sure that we compensate the citizens because we are enjoying the benefit of the road herein being constructed. I thank you."
