    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sifuna is completely lost and he does not understand what I am trying to say. The point is, there is a specific reason a road to a particular place, region or location is built because the people that head to that part of the country use it more than others. You cannot say that because I drive on Thika Road, once in five years when I am going to watch a football match at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani Stadium, then my people have used that road. It is not the same as the road from Total, Westlands here to Nakuru County as I drive home over the weekend. The point I am trying to make and I hope that colleagues can be convinced is that the conversation on the tolling of our roads cannot be limited to particular roads that have been built over a period of time. It must be based on value. That is what the rest of the world does. If the Government spends money beyond a certain limit, then that road is tolled. It does not matter whether it is done now, yesterday or in 1963. This is so that the principle of equity is observed. I thank you."
