    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that this issue of toll roads is not as simple as many of our colleagues want to put it. I represent the people of Kericho in this House and I know that the Government wants to build a toll road from Rironi here in Nairobi, all the way to Malaba. The people I represent in this House continue to pay for the loans that were taken to build Thika Road, Dongo Kundu and many other roads that have been done elsewhere. Tell me, why in my rightful mind I need to stand to defend citizens of a part of a country where monies borrowed by the Republic of Kenya were used to do roads for them and they are driving on those roads free of charge, whilst my own citizens as they travel upcountry have to pay to use the so-called toll roads?
